Thank you
Mo Miles would not have been what it was without you. It was you who nominated where I went each morning. It was you who decided which photos appeared in the gallery. I was merely a pawn. And I enjoyed being the pawn, so thank you.
At times I had serious regrets about undertaking this project. When my phone was stolen on November 1st before I'd even taken my first photo I did genuinely think the project was scuppered. There have been a lot of times when I questioned my decisions, even questioned my sanity (who chooses to take a picture of themself on ten bridges around London in one evening?). But as a team we made it.
Mo Miles was a social project. I wanted to see how far it could travel through social media, as well as by word of mouth. I was so pleased with the results. Your Miles is a testament to how well the word travelled.
Anyway, I have a lot of people to thank, so here it goes.

Special Thanks
Gavin Campbell - thanks again for your donation, and for the chat in that pub in Copenhagen. I'll look you up when I make it to Dubai.
David Cross - I still can't believe I found you on a day when you had a Mansfield Town shirt. Lifesaver.
Hilary Wilson - thanks for becoming my mentor and for saving Mo Miles.
All at Movember - thanks for picking up on and promoting Mo Miles.
In memory of
Hazel Adcock
24.02.1958 - 05.05.2014
I did all of this for you.
