Spreading the word!

As hard work has changed its focus from planning the route to spreading the word i am happy to share the short but to the point video on why i'm doing this ride. In no way am i thinking i will obtain fame and fortune from this adventure as previous adventurer's have. If i were to think that then i would very much mistaken and surely i'm sacrificing far too much for a little fame!

I'm doing this for two main reasons:

1. Both charities. Kick 4 Life and the Saints foundation are both great charities that use football in great ways  to connect with a range of different people with a range of different needs. I will use this same love for football to help connect myself with all the different people that i meet so i will be travelling alone but just meeting friends to be along the way.

2. My own personal dream. I consider myself very lucky that i have realised what i want to do in life. The line of work that i love, and the things i love doing. This ride combines all of that. All the ingredients that are involved in such a ride like this, the mental challenge, the physical challenge, the dangers, the rewards the skills needed to make the ride a success have consumed me and will do until i complete it. I just can't wait to get out there!

I know a having dream can catch you unawares and planning/safety precautions can sometimes fall by the wayside but be sure this is not the case. I will be prepared for what one can prepare for and the rest, well thats the adventure!

Please spread the word and share my video, all your support really does make a difference, many thanks.
