4 days to go

[JimIOW]

3 heart attacks, open heart surgery, COPD and may partner and I are going to walk to Birmingham from London! A year ago I discovered a Brother that I never knew I had was born in Birmingham in 1946. I was born in London in 1960. After a few health scares I feel fit enough to walk to Birmingham to my brother, from where I was born in London, along the historic Grand Union canal that links the two cities. We hope to raise money for the BHF so they can continue their vital research. I am a very mature photography student so I will be documenting this journey. You can follow our progress at:

Donations can be made directly to the BHF via:

There is more on the story at:

The picture is one I took as I was strolling through Southampton!
