I Would Walk 1000 Miles

Well, I assume it’s the final lot. BBC Radio Newcastle gave me about 3 mins on their drivetime show yesterday, but the Chronicle went further than I could have hoped and gave me the entire of page 3! A shame they forgot to put a link in to the blog or Blue Dragon’s website… A slightly abridged online version of the article has a nice big picture of me which I pinched (hope that’s OK, folks!). To make up for that small act of larceny, if you want to buy copies of that photo (or any of the others they have available), pop to the icNewcastle Photo Order page and do a search for "Purdie". I have a feeling my mum will end up with the whole set. On canvas. Signed. The mention on NUFC.com has generated at least one donation that I’m aware of, and an email conversation with someone I used to go to school with. All good stuff. I doubt there’ll be more publicity unless someone else wants to give another organisation a kick. I’m off up to Perth to steal *cough* borrow my mum’s car then off down to the Big Smoke next week. I’ll post all my "thanks" stuff shortly, and hopefully have the final steps of the walk on YouTube tomorrow.
