Richard’s Walk to D’feet MND BIBBULMUN TRACK & KEP TRACK 7 May — 24 July 2010

Richard’s Walk Richard Prince plans to walk the Bibbulmun Track from Albany to Kalamunda and then continue on the Kep Track (Golden Pipeline Heritage Trail) to Norhtam, passing through a number of towns on the way.  He will start his walk on Friday 7 May 2010 from Albany Southern Terminus of the Bibbulmun Track.  The walk marathon for MND will take Richard about 10 weeks to complete. Along the way Richard invites people from the towns he passes through to walk a few “clicks” with him and to raise some funds for the care of people with MND and to go towards research. About Richard Richard arrived in Australia February 1975. As a country lad from East Yorkshire he headed straight for the bush and settled in the Avon Valley, where he worked as a Roustabout working in the shearing sheds.  He went on to establish a farm tree business in Northam, and later ran a plant nursery from which he and wife Roma retired after 30 years. Now Richard and Roma live in Guilderton. Richard’s motivation comes from personal experience of seeing a family member suffer from MND.  He says, I saw the anger, frustration and determination in my own family, and that of many others living with MND. I am inspired to do whatever I can to help raise awareness and funds to beat this disease”.      Richard said, “I am keen to see funding raised for research and to care for people with MND. I hope you can help me in my quest”.
