Stage 1 is the idea.
I wanted to raise some money for 1Voice and also raise awareness of the achievements of and issues relating to people who use communication aids.
A good friend, Hazel, has recently done a virtual swim across the English Channel and so it seemed like a great idea to do a virtual walk to raise money for 1Voice. Jenny suggested trying to finish before Christmas so we could make a bid for any Christmas card charity donations!
The Process:
Friends will suggest destinations in the UK
I will plan a route
We will set up a Just Giving Page
Team 1Voice 1Walk will walk the equivalent distance
Anyone who takes part will get a mention, a photo if they want, and the responsibility of spreading the word and trying to get a few more sponsors!
The blogging will be our official record and I hope to rope in several helpers over the next few months to walk pretty much the length of Britain. We will be Team "1Walk, 1Voice"
I also have an idea to use a little gadget to help us. I am such a geek!
First, my friends suggested some place names.
Next, Team 1Voice walked the equivalent of visiting all those comedy places (only in much smaller walks and then we added up the miles).
We wanted to raise awareness (and hopefully money) for 1Voice, who support children and families who use communication aids.

Our route took us the equivalent of:
Sandwood Bay (Scotland) - Hobson - Ambleside - Lancaster - Ramsbottom - Bootle - Llanfairpwll (that very long place name) - Tenby - Gower - Tolpuddle - Piddle - Sandy Balls - Pratts Bottom - Christmas Pie House (by Christmas)
