A quick update from Newport Beach, California. I’m being well looked after by Geordie exile Phil and his wife Jane. I managed 8.5 hours sleep last night in a lovely comfy bed. That’s a tour record I believe. 3.5 more hours than the average over the last 76 days. Bliss!
It’s still quite painful to walk around. The exterior damage to my feet is showing some signs of recovery thankfully. The real pain will come tomorrow evening and into Thursday when I fly home and my feet (and internal pockets of fluid) swell.
The charity fund for St. Benedict's Hospice is showing no signs of slowing down thanks to some incredible generosity. It makes my foot pain absolutely worthwhile seeing the money being donated.
If you have donated then THANK YOU. I’ll get round to thanking you properly (if contact details have been left in Justgiving) when I return to the UK. If you haven’t yet donated and would like to to so then please visit https://www.justgiving.com/page/rungeordierun2025. St. Benedict’s Hospice are in desperate need of our support. The services that they provide to terminally ill people and their families is so important.
