Im in count me in for £20 fantastic idea. Its just an idea but I think it would help if you could print off some sponsor forms for friends and family cos I can guarantee they would be willing to put their hand sin their pockets for such a brave person. My dad ran a gymn club for a lot of years for kids with special needs such as downs syndrome and it never ceases to amaze me the bravery and determination of people affected by such a severe mental handicap. An inspiration in every sense of the word!

| Quote Toonbull="Toonbull"Good Morning everyone.
I think I've had an idea that could be huge, but I'll need a lot of help.
Just to introduce myself, my name is Andy and my Brother James and I have been Bulls season ticket holders for years. That doesn't sound special in itself except we travel from Newcastle to every game.
James has Downs Syndrome, and the Bulls are his love. In 2009 we completed 100 rounds of kickboxing on the Odsal field (my claim to fame is a Mr. Wayne Godwin broke my nose during it!!). During a long walk yesterday I had a eureka moment and ran it past James. We are going to walk from Whitley Bay to Odsal. It'll take a week and we need the Bulls on board. No-ones gonna talk us out of it, you can't stop a Bull when it's made up it's mind.
For those who think this next bit is ludicrous, please read the bit afterwards. This could raise the "other half million". All we need is 100,000 people thinking a lad with Downs Syndrome walking easily over 150 miles to try and save his beloved Rugby side is worthy of a fiver. Who wouldnt? Heaven's sake, people in his home town are doing just that, without a clue who the Bradford Bulls even are (Ive told them to hang on to thier fivers till we get this up and running). Our local landlord only knew they were a Rugby league outfit when he put the tele on so we could hear the somewhat "non-announcement".
Ive provisionally got Whitley Bay-Sunderland-'Boro-York-West Yorks (including Leeds and I AM being serious) as the route, ending at Odsal. We'll camp along the way. James is friends with a lot of Bulls players and I imagine they'd happily lend him some training gear for this.
Can we do it? It's why I told you about the 100 rounds. If youre still in doubt keying in James Lights Out Olsen to a well known file sharing site should get you footage of his honourary world title win (wKO3, v a 20 time world champ no less).
Hopefully I can get as many people behind this. The story of James's life is that with the right support, he is capable of achieving the impossible. If anyone sees a way they can help then Lord knows nows the time to come forward.
We walk for the Bulls, we're alright'"
having done Wakey to Hudds walks looking at a 150 mile walk isn't something to be sniffed at so take it that you are both capable of doing the distance,
the distance we did was around 15 mile on the day and still ended up with blisters so I would take care in your preparations and would like to wish you good travels if you get the go ahead, I wouldn't like to think that I was doing it

As I've just said on twitter, what a time for my internet to go. Yes there's Wifi but that would have involved the joys of Whitley Bay on a bank Holiday. No thanks.
Yeah Bets 'y' Bulls, bank account a great idea but we need to hear from the club. Snowie, we know there will be blisters, we also know what is at stake. Hello blisters.
Repeated for effect- if there aren't 100,000 people who think a lad with Downs Syndrome doing this to save his club then we should all give up. Not on the Bulls but on life.

I'm actually in shock, the Rhinos have been in touch, they're looking to send players with us as we go round Leeds. As I said, this isn't about "my clubs better than yours" or righting wrongs. I'll care about who got us into this mess after James has got the club out of it.
Route getting planned later.
Bulls (finally) got in touch. Those who wish to could do us a massive favour and let them know how big this has become. They should throw their resources at us because we know done correctly this could raise the full amount. They know us from the 100 rounds so they know how capable and determined we are to do this.
Speaking of the 100 rounds, would a Team Olsen v The Bulls players interest anyone, in the summer perhaps? Don't worry James will take it easy on them
