Hi Taffy,

Just wanted to say that your idea for this walk is great. I'll try and join you for part of it - I'm in Scotland. Once I'm working again I will also contribute financially.

Take care, you're stronger than you may realise.

Below are two quotes I believe are true. That's what I hold on to.
I hope they can help you too a little, Taffy.

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face... do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt

"Within each of us is a hidden store of energy. Energy we can release to compete in the marathon of life. Within each of us is a hidden store of courage, courage to give us the strength to face any challenge. Within each of us is a hidden store of determination. Determination to keep us in the race when all seems lost." Roger Dawson

Hi Taffy,

I've seen you've set a date for when you will start the walk. Does that mean you've worked out all the details? Where will you start out your walk?

Please keep us updated. Thanks in advance, AW.

Hello Taffy,

1stly, congrats to you for undertaking what is going to be a HUGE project!

By the time you begin, I'll be in a position to pledge some small amount (no way its possible at the moment, either financially, or in terms of transferring funds via the 'net).

I might well be able to join you for a few miles (VERY few...footin; ) when you get down my way, we'll see.

I was going to use this as a 'signature', as it pertains to the Username I've chosen, but it seems far more appropriate for you -

"So 'ark an' 'eed you Rookies, which is allus grumblin' sore-
There's worser things than marchin' from Umballa to Cawnpore,
'an if your feet are blistered an' they feels to 'urt like 'ell,
you drops some tallow in yer socks,
an' that'll make 'em well..."

I've noticed that Taffy's walk has been re-scheduled for around March 2008.

Just thought I'd let you all know since Taffy's not been online for some time (?).
