It is 21.45
Well that is it, the van is packed, team members are in bed ready for an early start, and Megan is going on a 1000 mile walkies. All the planning, all the highs and lows to get us, the team, to this point, the night before we leave to attempt the E2E in an Alber Adventure Power Wheelchair.
I would like to say a very big and sincere thank you to all of my team for their support and without whom this challenge would not been taking place.
Being as disabled as I am with Rheumatoid Arthritis, I cannot use a manual wheelchair, which means that to take on any challenge I have to use an electric power wheelchair. This small point is something people cannot grasp. They think that I am cheating, by using power.
My chosen charity KAP is worthy of every mile I drive the Alber; I will do everything in my power to promote the work of this charity, and no that the money raised will be put to a very good project.
To you Elaine in SA, you sent me an email of the problems that your country is going through. Thank you for your support over the past few months, I will give you love to Cornwall. If you decide that it is okay to join us at any stage along the route, we have a place reserved for you.
My computer is now been switched off for, I hope, the next 31 days.
To you all good night and God Bless.
