We’ve been supporting Jason and Helen on their epic walk around The Gambia. The good news is the guys are making excellent (if exhausting!) progress and, when they can get a signal, are starting to put together some brilliant blog posts with some ace photographs – you can see everything on their blog.

The not-so-good news is that the guys are only 20% of the way towards their fundraising total of £7000! We’d like to spread this as far and wide as possible so please pass on their story as much as you can – bloggers, facebookers, tweeters: do your thing! The cause is an excellent one, which in Jason Florio’s own words seeks to:
raise the profile and funds for ‘Gardens For Life’ charity – an Eden Project charity – in The Gambia, which help to educate, support and encourage schools and children around the world on how to create gardens and grow their own food.
You can read more about Gardens for Life at the Eden Project website, or simply follow the blog where’ll you pick up on exactly what Jason and Helen (and the Short Walk team) are trying to achieve. Let’s try and get that figure moving in the right direction!
