My Feet Hurt
on Jul 23 in Uncategorized by NeilRight, now that I have control of Dan’s blog and while he’s away…I can let you into a few secrets about him……on second thoughts he knows far too much about me..!
Hopefully by this time tomorrow we should have received their first piece of video which will be posted on itvlocal.com/yorkshire – for those in the UK… and on youtube.com/thejosephsalmontrust for everyone else. It should also appear here too!
I know Dan has thanked everyone for sponsoring him and his team, but I wanted to say thank you too. For myself and Rachael the past three and a bit years have been extremely difficult. Launching the charity has been our way of trying to offer a small amount of help to other parents in a similar situation and also to keep Joseph’s name alive. I find it hard to express how grateful I am for all the support that we have received. So, thank you for everyone that has sponsored Dan and co. and for the kind words that have been written on blogs around the world. We try and read them all.
Today, I thought that I would list the twitterings of Dan on Day One. Here goes.
- We’re off!
- The problem with taking photo’s is that every time you stop to take one all the other buggers leave you behind.
- We’ve stopped for lunch. Or at least half of us have. We all got separated about five miles back and the faster four have powered ahead.
- There’s a search helicopter above us. Thank’s for the concern but I don’t think we’re at that stage yet.
- Bloody bastard hills.
- Finally caught up with the super fast group. Only to find they have been filling the video tape with ‘interesting facts’ i am very very … ..
- We’ve done the first day. Seventeen miles down and far to many left to go. My feet hurt.

Dan and walkers – you are doing a fantastic thing for our charity – thank you!
Neil – I am really proud of you. You do a huge amount of work in our boy’s memory and you are amazing. I love you cherry chops!
Everyone who has supported/is supporting Dan & co financially and in their thoughts and blogs – thank you also.
Nothing will bring Joseph back, nothing will stop the pain of absence, but to know that his name is mentioned often and to have the hope of helping other people in similar situations, is some comfort.
It was so hot! Ridiculously so. Thankfully, we had plenty of water (and strategically placed cafes and tearooms).
Now I’m looking forward to seeing how much we’ve all raised together, and just by seeing the number of names on the Justgiving site and sponsorship forms, I know that Joseph’s name has been brought to hundreds more people around Huddersfield and much further afield.
Good to meet you both at last, and I trust we’ll meet up again very soon.
