A Walk of Faith

This new book by Essex author and father, John Reeve, describes his walk to the 2006 World Cup in memory of his son, Tim, who died of leukaemia in December 2005.

Talented athlete Tim Reeve was struck down with leukaemia at the age of 20; an exciting world of future opportunities denied him in one fell swoop. Tim’s legacy lives on and always will.

His father John established the Tim Reeve Charitable Trust to help teenagers and young adults with leukaemia and raised over £100,000 by walking to the 2006 Football World Cup.

This extraordinary feat is recalled in a tale of blood, sweat, tears and laughter. John bares his soul as he catalogues his journey to fulfil his son’s dream. It’s a moving story about ‘getting on with it’.

‘Tim died young but lived strong and will always be our inspiration’

ON SALE FOR £9.95 WITH £5 FROM EVERY BOOK GOING TO THE LEUKAEMIA RESEARCH FUNDS WORK TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE.

To order, please email john.reeve@supanet.com or post a cheque made payable to the Tim Reeve Charitable Trust to PO BOX 9495, Wickham Bishops, ESSEX, CM8 3WT.
