Just had to come by to post about a remarkable guy doing something incredible for a fantastic cause...
Johnny Budden aka "Sticky" who is about to set off on a 1000 mile journey (actually 1300 miles) from John O'Groats to Paris using parkour -
his journey begins on Sunday
and it's all to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease, which is something that possibly scares me more than any other disease.
You can learn more about him and his journey on his web site
The videos of him are amazing...
and you can track his progress as he makes his way down the country.
There is also an interview he did with someone caring for someone with Motor Neurone disease
plus if you wnat to donate then there is a link on his site for that too
I have lots of thoughts / feelings about MND, and also about parkour (and how it touched our life briefly) - loads I could blog about, but I'm not sure it's really that relevant.
what seems most important is a very generous souled guy doing something special to help other people..
Oh and he's also got a wicked sense of fun...tonight he reached 1000 followers on twitter and is going to run ten miles of it naked!

Thumbs up for Johnny. Fantastic to read about great souls
Parkhour, I have always loved it! And, I respect him doing this for a cause! Immense respect!
Marja, It is fantastic to read about people like him, lately I have come across a lot of people doing what they can for other people ~ it's exremely uplifting. Hope you are well, will pop by v soon, x
Bros, I like the idea of it, love watching it, but this time last year I was cursing the injuries it can cause mainly because kids here were doing it without any guidance or proper training! However, this guy is amazing at it and yes, he has my respect on a few levels :) Will be by to see you later too, x
What a wonderful thing he is doing to help so many.
Jayne, it is - MND scares me like no other disease, he sets off tomorrow morning, not sure how long it's going to take him in total!
