Roy’s Crazy 88 Trek To The Coast walking 88 miles from Nottingham to Mablethorpe?
Roy’s Crazy 88 is the brainchild of?Roy Bond, a Magician from Nottingham, who along with the team aim to raise?￡8,888.88?for the Stroke Association by walking with fellow team members from Nottingham to Mablethorpe in April 2022.
A little background
Roy was born in Nottingham, grew up during his early years on the East Coast returning to Nottingham as a teenager, but kept his links with the East Coast.?It’s a journey he’s travelled many times, and actually the second time he will be walking it although after the first time he was quite vocal saying never, ever again!
The reason for choosing to support the Stroke Association is down to Roy’s life changing forever when he was just 6 years old.?His mother had a stroke which left her with epilepsy, memory loss and paralysis.?Returning to Nottingham at the age of 12 Roy and his mum moved in to supervised accommodation where he learned to care for mum and she learnt to live independently.?
Roy says “I wish I had had the support as a child that is available now and I hope by undertaking this challenge it will help raise awareness for carers and maybe help someone cope with the aftermath of such a life changing medical condition.”??
Roy will be supported with this fundraising venture by his partner,?Deborah Labbate, who will act as Project Manager taking care of logistics, fundraising and marketing the supporting events before joining the last 8 miles of the walk. Deborah lost her own mum on New Year’s Eve 2020 following a number of strokes.
