Walk for Julie

Welcome to my website giving details of "my long walk for Julie".  I am Graham Horn, and in November 2006 my wife Julie died from terminal kidney cancer.  In her memory, during April and May 2007, I am walking the Macmillan Way coast to coast across England; 290 miles in 18 days from Boston in Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury in Dorset.

If you would just like to read about the walk go to www.macmillanway.org.  If you would like to follow my daily progress go to daily diary.  Please feel free to browse this site.  If you would like to join me for a day, or just a few hours, check the itinerary and give me a call.

Either way, please make it worth my while to put my body through this punishing schedule and give me some sponsorship.  I am raising funds for:

Duchess of Kent House Trust (registered charity number 1085912)
An organisation that provides vital funding for the Duchess of Kent House, the specialist palliative care hospice in Reading, where Julie was well cared for during her illness and where she died.  Read about DOKHT here

Macmillan Cancer Support (registered charity number 261017)
An organisation that provides practical and emotional care for terminal cancer patients and their families.  Julie's Macmillan nurse was a great support during her illness.  Read about Macmillan Cancer Support here

There are two ways of sponsoring me, either way you will need to choose which charity to support, or even half and half to both.

You can download or just print off the appropriate sponsor form(s) by using the links below or on the nav bar on the left of most pages (you will need Adobe Reader 6.0 or above.)
