Gerry's Munro Marathon Completed in Record Time
A jubilant Gerry says “I started on Saturday, 10 April, on Ben Lomond and finished on Tuesday 6 July, on Ben Chonzie. The total time was 88 days well inside my “most optimistic” target of 99 days. More than 130 folk walked with me on 200 different Munros. The support was fantastic and I could not have found the motivation to get round in under 3 months without it. THANK YOU.
Thanks, also, to my many very generous sponsors. The total raised from all sources is now (27 August) around £30,000 and another £5,000 is “in the pipeline.” My next big challenge is to get my sponsorship up to the target of £50,000. To help with this challenge I plan a series of talks in the final quarter of the year. Hopefully the venues will include Wester Ross, Inverness, Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. More information about the walk and talks can be found on Gerry’s blog at http://dglmf.wordpress.com
Gerry was walking to raise funds for the David Gemmel Living Memorial Fund which is raising funds for L’Arche in Kenya and L’Arche Edinburgh
