Our personal message:

POST-WALK UPDATE: I made it! Thanks to all.

It was even harder work than I expected to keep walking for many days....but the weather was mostly good and the way inviting.....

For some photos taken during the walk, check out:

All this enables the Jasmin Leila Award:

  www.rgs.org/jasminleila

More than £6,000 was raised thanks to your sponsorship.

Cheers, James D Sidaway

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

In celebration of the life and travels of my daughter Jasmin Leila, I am asking people to sponsor my walk from the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) in Kensington, London (see http://www.rgs.org/) to the coast of Norfolk - in part via this trackway:  http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/PeddarsWay/

All monies raised will go to the Jasmin Leila Award, which funds critical geographical scholarship:

                                            www.rgs.org/jasminleila

Armed only with some good shoes, a few maps and a set of texts on psychogeography, I will walk much of the route from the RGS to the coast (though a train will get me on the way out of London) in the late August and early September days after the 2008 RGS-IBG Annual Conference.  The walk will begin from Lowther Lodge (see http://www.rgs.org/NR/rdonlyres/6727EBCF-2896-4D6E-A668-743EFA7796DC/0/HistoryofLowtherLodge.pdf), the home of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS-IBG) on the evening of Friday 29 August. For the first stage (a walk to Kings Cross Station), I will be joined by Jasmin's big sister, Naushine S. Mohammad.

Logistical support (that is spare clothes, a decent umbrella/parasol and being picked up at the end) will come from Jasmin's grandfather (always known to her as 'Abuelo', since Spanish was the first language that Jasmin spoke), J. Trevor Sidaway, who will also walk some sections with me. There are some nice photos of Jasmin on his website: http://www.blackcountrystories.co.uk/


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It
’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Royal Geographical Society (With The Institute Of British Geographers) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. All sponsorship will go to support the Jasmin Leila Award.

Thank you for your support.

Check out Jasmin on facebook (lots of photos, samples of her artwork and a video):
