Why?

I first met Rhys in 2008. We both were participating in the Youth Expedition Sinai 2008. We both were on the trek for a similar reason, we both had suffered a bereavement. I lost my Father to Cancer in 2005 and Rhys lost his sister to Cancer also in 2005. We both have suffered a loss at a young age, this helped bring us together very close as friends. After completing the 2 week long, 150km trek in July 08, we both remained great friends.

Recently a thought came to my mind of the idea of walking from Lands End to John O'Groats. I had no idea why the thought arrived but I knew straight away it was something I wanted to do for myself and for a good cause. I hadn't thought too much on the subject but yesterday Rhys recently was feeling down and I suggested the idea to him and he took to it with huge optimism. As of last night we have been researching into this a lot and we have decided:
