    Default Read a book about the AT and help raise funds for charity

    I suspect this posting may concern some folks so let me get any necessary apology in before I start.

    I thru hiked in 2000 and wrote a book about my experience of the Trail.

    In February 2007 I am climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to raise £3,000 for a UK cancer charity.

    As part of my efforts to raise this sum, I am donating all royalties I receive from sales of the book plus a matching payment. So if you buy a copy, I will donate the sterling equivalent of $9.

    Follow this link to read a chapter, read some reviews and order a copy - http://www.lulu.com/content/211493

    Many thanks

    John

    Default To the Woods

    Hi John,

    I will order a handful of books (To the Woods) for a number of reasons: (not in order of priority)

    1. Because I met you in 2000 on our thru hike and have been fast friends since

    2. Because the book is different from others due to the perspective of one from the UK albeit a Scotsman that enlightens us here in the states as to how we and the trail are viewed - a nice read

    3. The fund raising for cancer is a noble effort

    4. Will have a nice gift to give to friends and relatives and do some good at the same time

    5. And unashamedly pleased that I am mentioned in the book

    6. I have enjoyed all the other examples of your writing style

    Talk to you soon
