Getting Started

Well, it's been a long time coming, well over a year now, but finally I am ready to skate the length of the UK.
Welcome to BornFree, a 900 mile skateboarding journey for CORDA in aid of young stroke victims.
Today is the day before the ball, or rather "board" starts rolling. We are packing the support vehicle full of enough supplies to last myself and my Dad the first week. Everything from plasters to wine gums is going on board and we need to leave enough room for us to sleep at night too! After the first week of skating with my Dad my brother will pick up the driver's seat and give me a top-up of what I need. From then it's down to the west midlands, where my Grandfather will do the same. The same will happen with my mother, picking up the trip near the Welsh border, and seeing me to the finish line in Land's End, all in 27 days.
If I am to accomplish this I will hold 2 World records for being the fastest, and youngest person ever to skate the full length of the United Kingdom.
Follow this blog for day to day updates of where I am, where I will be in the next few days. And other things like how the trip is going and if we have had any big problems or successes.
You can also feel free to drop me an email or even call me on the road if you would like.
More coming soon, watch this space!
