Lonely Knight

Hello everyone.

Sorry for the radio silence over the last week or so. We’ve all been recovering from the success of Colin’s walk and counting your generous donations. There is still at least one bucket of cash to be counted, but I thought it was worth giving you the latest total of the money raised. At the moment it stands at £6138.80 which is absolutely fantastic.

On behalf of Colin, the team and of course our two wonderful charities I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated. You are all amazing people, we are humbled and in awe. Considering that when we started on this crazy venture we thought we might raise a thousand pounds, to be looking at a total of over six thousand is quite something.

All of the money raised through the just giving page plus half of the cash raised en route will be going to Chestnut tree house, which means that they will receive at least £4500. Help for Heros wil get the other half of the cash raised which means that they’ll get at least £1500.

Of course, it’s not too late to donate! If you’re one of those people that’s been saying “I will give you some money” you can still visit the Just Giving page to donate on line, or get in touch if you’d rather give cash.

Colin is working on a journal of his journey & we’ll get that online just as soon as we can for you.

Once again, thank you for your generous support.

The Squire (Mark)

Posted from London, England, United Kingdom.

He’s made it!

Our noble, some would say certifiable knight Colin Bickers has arrived at the gates of Buckingham Palace having traveled 60 miles on foot in full armour.

Colin said It was further than I thought!

So far Colin has raised £1,917 online for Chestnut Tree House and several hundred more pounds en route which will be split between Chestnut Tree House & Help for Heroes.

All that remains for him to do is to come back tomorrow & cast his rose before the carriage carrying Prince William & his new princess back to Buckingham Palace.
