Pembrokeshire Coast Path Challenge 2007

We are looking to raise £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support...can you help and support our challenge? So what is the challenge?

Our team, consisting of 4 members, will be walking the entire Pembrokeshire Coast Path covering over 186 miles (299km) of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Britain stretching from St Dogmaels in the North to Amroth in the South. The path follows an indented coastline, the ups and downs of which total 35,000 feet of ascent and descent which will mean that by the end of the challenge we will have climbed the equivalent of Mt Everest.

We are starting the challenge on Friday 31st August and ending on Saturday 8th September 2007 giving us only 9 days to finish what the majority of websites say will take two or more weeks to complete! Each day we will be covering over 20 miles carrying everything needed to survive in the wilds of Pembrokeshire. Why are we doing this challenge? As you may already know 2 members of the team ran the Los Angeles Marathon in 2006 raising, thanks to very generous sponsorship, over £6,000 for Cancer Research UK and we thought another fund raising event was now in order.

We have chosen to walk the Pembrokehsire Coast Path as a tribute to my father, who died of cancer earlier this year. By walking the coastal path from North to South we will end the challenge near Swansea where he lived and died. If you feel as though you would like to sponsor us for this challenge you can help us reach our target by making donations directly to our website www.justgiving.com/pembschallenge2007 or by contacting me, Richard John at the address below. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank from myself and the team for any kind donations towards our target of £10,000 and I will, of course, send you a newsletter following the challenge with picture etc capturing the 9 days.

If you think this is a worthy cause then please feel free to send this letter to anyone you know who might like to sponsor us.

Kind regards,
