ABOUT ME

My Friend Kieran and I are walking the 3000 mile journey across America, from New York to LA. We are doing this in aid of CLIC Sargent and Parkinson's UK. No cars, no lifts, no public transport; just walking.

Kieran is walking in memory of his Granddad, John Paul O'Mahoney, and is raising money for Parkinson's UK. John was diagnosed with the disease in 2007 and sadly, after a long and drawn out struggle, lost his battle in late 2010.

I am walking for Stephanie Knight (http://www.stephknight.co.uk), who since she was 17, has had to battle with cancer. in 2010 her cancer went into remission, but Steph continued to raise money and awareness of teenage cancer, and has helped raise over £40,000.

Unfortunately in April 2012 Steph found out the cancer was back in the same part of her pelvis. Since then she has had to have her Pelvis, Hip and right leg removed; Throughout this Steph has always been positive and continued to raise money and awareness, to try to help others. When I asked Steph who she would like to benefit from this campaign, she suggested CLIC Sargent, who help young people with Cancer and their families.

Along the route we are going to try and use CouchSurfing to hopefully find a comfy night sleep, plus we hope it will enable us to meet some amazing people.

The link below is our rough route.
