more fitting than another<br />
walk? This time he only had<br />
to cover the 177 miles of<br />
Offa’s Dyke over 14 days – a<br />
mere stroll compared to the<br />
1,000 miles he walked in 80<br />
days back in 2007, but just as<br />
important for John.<br />
‘The need is great in<br />
Guatemala, with more than<br />
half the children under<br />
five suffering from acute<br />
malnutrition,’ he says.<br />
John, a keen walker, began<br />
his trek on 6 September<br />
in Chepstow and has<br />
been holding services in<br />
Presbyterian churches along<br />
the way. He hopes to reach<br />
Prestatyn on 19 September.<br />

• Young people from Salem<br />
Canton Chapel in Cardiff<br />
got together recently to<br />
boost the appeal, by cycling<br />
the distance between<br />
Guatemala’s east and west<br />
coasts – some 450km – using<br />
exercise bikes. Without<br />
moving from the vestry, they<br />
had completed their task by<br />
midnight! More than £700<br />
in sponsorship has been<br />
raised. This is one of several<br />
events the church is holding<br />
for this worthy appeal.<br />
