I'm currently planning a charity walk from Hull to Widnes. Yes, I know its been done, but so has the london marathon and Everest, but not by me!!!
I'm doing it for 4 charities; The RL Benevolent Fund Mental Health Foundation National Autistic Society Benguema High School in Freetown Sierra Leone for whom the school I work for (Stretford High School) has a partnership to sustain their regeneration after the civil war. The money raised will go towards the refurbishment of classrooms at the school
The target is £4000 - £1000 for each cause.
Along the way Im taking pictures to make a book capturing the spirit of RL communities. This will be sold to support the effort. I hope to capture the essential feel of what a traditional rugby league town is all about.
I'm starting at the Hull v Wigan game on Friday July 29th, finishing at Widnes v Leigh on the 7th August. The route will be; Hull FC to Castleford Tigers, to Leeds Rhinos, to Bradford Bulls, to Halifax, to Oldham, to Salford Reds, to Warrington Wolves, to Widnes Vikings.
If this is made sticky I can update news as I find it. Post on the thread or PM me with any questions, ideas and suggestions.
Thank you Tony Fretwell

Indeed it is he moved to Widnes from here and I have bumped into him up there when we have played Widnes,he went teaching if I remember rightly. I saw on Facebook he was doing the walk good luck to him.
YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.

Yep! Its me! Thank you! Loved my time at Fax and probably would still be there now if I hadn't been made redundant when the backside fell out of the club. Sad times. Great to see how it is now though. I went to Widnes for 3 seasons and did my PGCE and became a teacher. Been doing it for 7 years now and Im Head of PE at Stretford High. Looking forward to seeing old friends at fax on the walk! Cheers and good luck for 2011! Make it back to back titles!
