I'm doing this because I want to make a difference
Neither of my grandfathers were career soldiers but they were called up and did their bit. I admire the work of the Army Benevolent Fund, helping men and women like my grandfathers, and wanted to support them by raising money through participation in My Frontline Walk. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can use the 'Donate' button.
The more people that know about the Army Benevolent Fund, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot. The photo is of my Grandfather John Juleff and me on Remembrance Day 1969 or so.

Refining my strategy!!
I already 'walk' more than 100 miles per month so 'just walking' 100 miles will not really be a challenge. What I will do is use my AllTrails App to keep track of specific fundraising walks - not just pottering around. I will aim to do 4 miles minimum every day and then the 16.5 miles on 11/11. That way, I can afford to miss a few days if circumstances dictate it. First walk will be in Chicago on Saturday, where I will be for the Ireland - NZ game. It's 2.6 miles from hotel to stadium. Add in a diversion or two for refreshments and I should be off to a good start!
Time to start walking
November approaches and there is a crispness in the air - perfect for walking. My plan is to walk a minimum of 100 miles in November, mainly in 4-6 mile 'bursts' before or after work, with longer walks at the weekend as needed. I am used to walking so am confident that I will reach my goal by 31 November. Thank you for your support.
In memory of my ancestors who risked their lives
Both my Grandfathers, John Juleff and Andrew Meharg, served in WW1, and one served in WW2 as well. My father, Kit Juleff, served in the Household Cavalry from 1954-1976. I am grateful to them all, and to their comrades, who risked their lives for us. I support the work of the Army Benevolent Fund and look forward to wearing out some leather to raise some money for their important work.Thank you to my Sponsors
