, an online arts and culture magazine, Baddeley says, "I am a big cricket fan and drew a comparison between a team chasing a big total of 400 runs and me setting out on a long walk. Cricketers always say ‘Do not think about the total that has to be scored but concentrate on scoring the first 10 runs, then the next 10 and ultimately, the total will be reached."。
"So for my walk, it was important not to think about the huge distance that I needed to cover but rather to concentrate in doing 15 miles a day," he says. 。Patrick's efforts have touched a chord with many. Admiration is pouring in from donors on JustGiving as well as people on social media.。Credit: JUSTGIVING SCREENGRAB 。
