I walked the 2,160 mile Appalachian Trail in 2000 and published a book about my experience.  Some twenty years later and in celebration of the anniversary, I republished the book and released an audio book.

Recognising we are living in unusual times, I want to raise funds for two charities which I support.  Raha International does great work in school education and Tomorrow’s Warriors does great work in jazz education.

So here's the deal:

• For every sale on Amazon, whether book or Kindle, I donate the entirety of the proceeds to my chosen charities.  You will find the link here. Both versions are available in different territories

• The audio book is available in all the usual places and I will treat any proceeds in the same way

• I will recognise any social media post which is brought to my attention and any review, whether 1 or 5 star, by way of further donations

• I will make a minimum donation of £2500 but ideally a maximum of £5000

I will report progress on a regular basis.

I have a limited edition print run of the book. I will send a signed and numbered copy to anybody who has an idea which significantly helps to spread news of this initiative. I will also send a signed and numbered copy on an occasional basis to those who get busy with buying, reviewing and sharing.

Thank you. April 2025
