Is it Mission Impossible for Joe 90?
Many of you probably don’t know me personally but you may well have seen me on my daily walks as I traverse the Eynesbury St Neots and other local pathways in Cambridgeshire, England. I try and complete at least 10,000 steps every day without fail come hail or shine.

Is it Mission Impossible for Joe 90?
Many of you probably don’t know me personally but you may well have seen me on my daily walks as I traverse the Eynesbury St Neots and other local pathways in Cambridgeshire, England. I try and complete at least 10,000 steps every day without fail come hail or shine.
While on one of my walks I thought I could probably walk the equivalent of John O’Groats to Land’s End before I turn 91, and so the journey commenced on July 6th this year, on the day of my 90th birthday.
I don't want this to be just for my benefit and I hope to raise £12,000 for five charitable institutions with meaningful ties to my family. The Rotary Club of Kimbolton Castle Charitable Trust will administer and distribute the donations to the five charities, namely the Salvation Army (and specifically their work in Chickankata, Zambia), the RAF Benevolent Fund, the Brainstrust, Mwandi School for Aids Orphans, Zambia, and the International PolioPlus Programme. If I can reach my target each will receive a minimum of £2,000.
If I average 2.4 miles a day, I will complete my trek on July 6th, 2026, While most of the walk will be virtual, the final 15 miles or so will be completed by walking into Land’s End.
Updates will be posted regularly here and by all means join me on my daily walk. www.Joe90Walk.co.uk
A resident of St Neots with my wife Jean since 2016, with whom I will shortly celebrate their 66th wedding anniversary, my motto in life is very simple – ‘You Are Never Too Old to Do Anything’ - and he and Jean remain active on many fronts. Jean as a member of the WI, and the Eynesbury Methodist Church Women’s Group and assisting at the Busy Bees Nursery, and Joe, not surprisingly, as a member of the St Neots Wellbeing Walks and the local St Neots Probus Chapter, as well as the Men’s Churches Together Group. They share 2 sons, Duncan and Stewart with their partners and 7 Grandchildren and 5 Great Grandchildren spread between Oxfordshire and Australia as the photos above lay testament to.
Prior to retirement Joe’s working life covered three distinct careers. Firstly, as a Musician/Bandmaster in the Royal Air Force Music Services and many other musical ensembles around the world, and secondly as a music teacher. He also worked at the Ministry of Defence as a Personal Secretary to the Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Portillo (Conservative) and George Robertson (Labour), before retiring to live in Spain in 2000.

At brainstrust, we believe in a world where people with a brain tumour and their loved ones are involved, resourced, confident and connected. They are living the life they want, to the best of their potential, because they are people first, and patients and carers second. We provide personalised support and build resources that help people with a brain tumour and their loved ones live the life they want after diagnosis. We work with people in the clinical setting to secure the best possible care for people with a brain tumour and we campaign to solve real issues, because we understand what challenges people with a brain tumour face. Meaningful collaboration and co-creation is a key component of our approach as we work to secure the best outcomes for anyone who is living with a brain tumour.
Additionally, here’s a glimpse of the impact our support has on patients and caregivers—made possible thanks to incredible fundraisers like your Dad. Please feel free to include this in any promotional materials if helpful:
