Given Covid crisis, I have no choice but to postpone this. Fear not, only temporarily! The plan is now to walk from @NewmarketRace to @CheltenhamRaces leaving on morning after Future Champions Day, arriving on first day of Showcase meeting for @Racingwelfare & @PancreaticCanUK.

Absolutely anybody & everybody welcome to come along. I really want to involve as many people as possible. There will a large hole in @Racingwelfare funding as a result of the current crisis & I am determined, with your help, to plug as much of it as I possibly can.

I will do it over 10 days, so average daily c 15 miles. I will welcome company along the way: sponsorship essential (min £500). Welcome to join for as much or as little as wanted! We will be holding events along the way (& at Newmarket) to raise as much money as possible 2/2

It's time to level with you all on my latest project for @Racingwelfare. In April next year I will leave @CheltenhamRaces to walk, initially, to Lambourn. From there I will walk to @NewmarketRace, arriving for Craven Day, 5 years on from the conclusion of @WalkTheCourses 1/2

It’s time to start putting a few clues out there for my next venture to raise much needed money for @Racingwelfare. 1. It will happen in April 2021, subject to social distancing being a thing of the past, God willing, by then. Next clue later today! @WalkTheCourses

5 years ago I was walking for @Racingwelfare. I'm asking you now to please help them again: demand for services has never been higher & fundraising events being cancelled. They desperately need your help. Read the link &, if you possibly can please help racingwelfare.co.uk/racing-welfare…

My love of racing came from my late father, who adored the game. As this anecdote shows, he fostered a deep love of the sport from an early age & certainly wouldn’t let a minor illness get in the way! I include this and much more about him in my record of @WalkTheCourses. Enjoy!

There was never any doubt in my mind that @WalkTheCourses absolutely had to finish at @NewmarketRace on Craven Day. Here’s why......

After I completed @WalkTheCourses I wrote the story of the project: 82k words covering my father's love of the sport, his influence on me, what drove me to undertake the project & diary of the walk itself. Never got round to getting it published. Any interest in seeing excerpts?

Richard is seeking sponsorship, having accepted the challenge to commentate on a race LIVE at @NewmarketRace as part of @NktOpenWeekend to raise much needed funds for @Racingwelfare. More info at justgiving.com/fundraising/ri…. All support would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

As someone whose family has been hit by this illness, I found @RadioEmmet interview with @patjsmullen compulsive listening. The man's bravery & resolve are inspirational. I wish him a speedy return to health & the saddle. 🤞@PancreaticCanUK @WalkTheCourses m.soundcloud.com/emmet-kennedy/…

Without Cole Harden winning the Stayers Hurdle at @CheltenhamRaces on 2015, @WalkTheCourses would never have got one of the great WTC wristband photobombs of all time! Happy retirement wishes to a smashing horse @wgreatrexracing @gavsheehan92 @ScottSalkeld
