Adventurer Derek Haines plans Italian trek for Meals on Wheels
He’s run marathons, climbed mountains and raised millions of dollars for charity and yet veteran adventurer Derek Haines is showing no sign of stopping.
A former police chief superintendent, Haines, 77, is planning to trek 250 miles in Italy between Tuscany and Rome to raise vital funds for a new premises for Cayman Islands Meals on Wheels.
Last year, Haines completed the 175-mile Robert Louis Stevenson Trail in France with his nephew Tom Carlin, raising over $800,000 towards the new building, with groundbreaking taking place in June this year. However, to complete the construction and the fit-out, another $500,000 is required, so Haines is once more donning his walking boots.
