Evening all!
I'm going to be walking from St Helen's in Swansea to St Helen's in Merseyside from September 25th to October 2nd. That'll be about 200 miles in eight days.
The last leg will go from Warrington to St Helens (about 10 miles or so) on Sunday 2nd October and I'm looking for people that may be interested in getting sponsored and joining that last leg. I've been assured by the foundation that there will be various RL celebrities joining us and there will be a bit of a get together when we get to St Helens.
I'm a Welsh, Salford resident Wigan fan and many people are wondering why I'm going from St Helens to St Helens. This is partly because that title for the walk has a nice ring to it, but mainly because it illustrates that there are more important things in life than sporting rivalry. Therefore I hope many fans of all clubs will get sponsored and come along and have a good craic as they raise money.
Due to the name of the walk and the finishing point it would be appropriate for a decent number of Saints fans to turn up. Don't be put off by me being a Pie Eater - a few of my mates that will be joining me on the last leg are Saints fans and I used to have some decent banter when I used to sell my fanzine outside KR a few years back.
If you'd like to join the walk, or even if you don't but would like to show your support, please 'like' the Facebook page for the walk at facebook.com/thescarletgooseberrystroll. You can also get details from me on Twitter (@TSGooseberry), e-mail (
thescarletgooseberry@yahoo.co.uk) or by going to justgiving.com/scarletgooseberry.
By getting together we could make this extraordinary! Cheers!
