Descriere Where Skylarks Sing: An inspiring story of endurance and the healing power of walking - Patrick Davies

Davies, Patrick: - Patrick Davies is an author and charity fundraiser. He was a diplomat for 25 years, serving in Morocco, Poland and Iran before wrapping up his career as the UK's Deputy Ambassador to the USA from 2013-18. The Covid-19 pandemic saw Patrick returning to the north of England to help care for his dad who has Alzheimer's Disease. When setting out to walk across the UK in 2021, he decided to use the journey to raise much needed money for research into the condition. Since then, he has continued his nomadic lifestyle, walking almost 800 miles across the Pyrenees from Biarritz to Barcelona in 2022 and 720 miles along France's eastern border, crossing the Vosges, Jura and the Alps, in 2023. From these two treks, he has raised a further £15,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK.
