Martin Blacoe raised an incredible £4,470.18 by walking 101.5 miles across the West Highland Way in memory of his colleague, Chris Housam. Chris taught English in secondary schools in Leeds for 32 years and was hugely passionate about getting children reading. Martin is a former Headteacher and spent 7 days walking from Milngavie, near Glasgow, to Fort William.
