I had big plans to go hiking in England in 2020. And... well...you can imagine what happened to those plans.

So, as a way of breaking up the Covid lockdown, I started a virtual walking challenge -- I intend to walk the entire length of Britain, from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats at the northern tip of Scotland. 1744 kilometres! All in my own community here in Canada, thanks to The Conquerer's My Virtual Mission app. 

In fact, I'm already a quarter of the way into the walk, having just turned north from the beautiful southern coast. I've got a long way to go, and I figure making this challenge a fundraiser for this important charity will help keep me motivated.

Please join me in making a difference. I'm raising money in aid of SickKids Foundation and every donation will help. Every penny I raise through here will go to SickKids Foundation. I'll be buying my shoes and granola bars with my own money. Thank you in advance for your contribution. SickKids Hospital in Toronto has helped my family a great deal.
