Support and Equipment In Kind
In order to start, let alone finish, our 630 mile long walk, Meg and I need a whole host of equipment. For example we need, tent (sharing a tent with a dog?!), sleeping bag (not sharing that with a dog!), food etc.
In order to auquire this equipment, Meg and I are looking for "In Kind" support from companies, friends, family and anyone who is willing to help us on our way, whether through loan of equipment or as a gift.
If you are willing and able to provide any of the equipment that we need for our endeavour we would be most greatful.A kit list can be seen here.
Support of any kind will be welcome, so please email me at razamataz2@hotmail.co.uk (we are working on getting Meg on the web and she will have her own email address soon!!!!). even enciuragement would be welcome!
Your support will help me and Meg to complete our walk and raise the awareness of blood donation and it's importance. We need you to help us make others aware of their potential to save lives!

'I'll Sponsor You For Your Walk!!'
'I'll sponsor you for your walk!'
This is a common statement I hear when I tell people about mine and Meg's plans to walk the South West Coast Path. My responce is one that suprises most people.
My responce is one that suprises most people. Meg and I are not aiming to raise money from our walk. The walk is aimed at increasing blood donar numbers. Money is not what is needed, what is needed, is blood.
So those who offer to sponsor me and Meg money for our walk we thank them kindly but ask them if they would be willing to donate blood as their way of showing support to our cause.
We are walking the 630 miles of coast path to make potential life savers out of more and more people. We all have the potential to save lives, Meg and I just want to let people know the gift that they have.

630 miles........why?
Hi!!
My name is Ryan Watts. I am 22 years-old and am currently studying for my masters level degree. This autumn I plan on walking the South West Coast Path of Great Britain with my dog, Meg, to raise awarness of the importance of blood donation.
Last year my Grandmother passed away after suffering from leukaemia for two years. During these two years she suffered from anerurisms which almost cost her life. Thanks to many blood transfusions my Grandmother survived these anerurisms and got the opportunity to spend a little more treasured time with her family. Without the generosity of blood these transfusions would not have been possible.
I will be forever greatful to blood donars for allowing me to have as much time with my grandmother as possible. Despite the generosity of registered blood donars there is still need or more to come forwards.
This september, Meg and I are planning to walk the South West Coast Path of Great Britain to raise awarness of the importance of blood donation. Our hike will begin on the 1st of September at South Haven Point in Poole, meandering 630miles until we reach Minehead harbour on the 30th of September.
The aim of this walk is to raise people's awareness on the importance of blood donation. Everyone can be a potential life saver, giving someone in need the opportunity to enjoy more preciouse moments with their friends and families.
This blog will follow me and Meg as we train for the walk, documenting the ups and downs, the prperation and panic. The most important part of this blog is too show people the importnace of giving blood and how easily it can be done.
You could be a life saver, do something about it today!!
