    How do they know that the person actually did the walking. If I had some money, I could sign up, claim I did the walking, send them the money, and it would be doubled. :sneaky:

    Yes, my son, and two friends have been running it for several years now. It tends to get communities of relatives and friends of local ME folk involved, and has raised around £125,000 so far.

    I forgot to point out that it is called "Walk For ME", which puts the emphasis in the proper place.

    Well AFME couldn’t use the same wording otherwise people would think they’re piggy backing on others ideas :sneaky::whistle:

    Piggy-back For ME? I don't see that taking off.
