Samworth Coast to Coast
Coast to Coast Sponsored Walk 2018
Fundraising for Mountain Rescue England and Wales
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
From the 20th August - 1st September 2018 a team of five A-Level students and 2 staff will attempt to walk The Coast to Coast walk in 13 days. The 192 mile walk from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay crosses 3 National Parks.
Mountain Rescue team members give up their time voluntarily and receive no payment or expenses, however having the equipment, vehicles and support facilities to operate and potentially save lives is an expensive business. With no Government funding, just raising the money to operate each year, competing with other worthwhile causes, is a mammoth task.
As an Academy each year we run a lot of expeditions in mountainous regions and it is one of our missions to teach students how to be safe in the mountains. Knowing such a wonderful organisation like Mountain Rescue would be there if we needed them in an emergency helps us to be able to run our expeditions.
All funds raised via this page will Go to Mountain Rescue - the students have raised funds already to pay for the expense of the trip, which has also been supported by our Academy's Opportunities Trust Fund.
