Vic's Big Walk: From SW France to NW England

This is a diary of Vic's walk which he timed to finish in his home town of Blackpool on his 70th birthday. I can only hope when I'm that age I still have enough fire in my belly to be prepared to go balls out to help others the way Vic did. Even when given a coffee or meal along the way, he put what it would have cost into the pot.

I thoroughly enjoyed this diary. The thought of reading a diary may not appeal, but this is a wonderfully idiosyncratic work, with snippets about the walk, about the trials and tribulations faced, about the places he passes through and the people he meets. Great stuff, and I felt at the end that I'd really got to know the author. I'd have paid for the book, never mind helping a charity too.

Wisdom of Our Mothers - some proceeds go to domestic abuse shelters, etc:

Wisdom of Our Mothers

And American Blue: Real Stories By Real Cops - proceeds go to National Law Enforcement Memorial, but it's not on Goodreads. Here's the Amazon link:

I have stories in both of them :)

Wisdom looks very interesting, Kathy, but there's no cheap Kindle version so I'll have to see how my finances are doing at the end of the month.

Yeah, I think it's just paperback - I should have mentioned that. And "American Blue", by the way, is not for the faint of heart. There's some upsetting stuff in there.
