To coincide with the arrival on my walk of Lucie, the area volunteer manager for Cancer Research UK, I would like to make a special appeal for further donations.
I have walked for seven weeks now and have one more week to go until I hopefully reach Land's End. The walk has been a tough endurance test, firstly in the early days when my boot was giving me trouble and, more significantly, in the extreme heat which has partnered me since leaving the Lake District. Those of you who joined me for sections of the walk will appreciate just how tough it was in high temperatures. But, in truth, I knew that I would face challenges when I committed to taking part - I just didn't know what form they would take!
The main purpose of the walk was, and remains, to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK. Their work, which relies entirely on public donations, is critical in helping to improve the survival rates for different types of cancer and significant progress has been achieved in recent years.
Thanks to your generous contributions, I have raised nearly £12,000 so far and still have a number of committed donations in the pipeline, but I've set a target of £15,000 and it would be fantastic to be able to reach this. So, in the final few days of my epic journey, I'd like to to call on you to help me to get closer to my target.
If you haven't donated yet and would like to, if you've already donated but would like to give more, or if you have family and friends who could donate, please visit my website:

Thank you so much for the remarkable support you have given to me throughout my journey - it's been really appreciated.
Best wishes,
Russell
