Story
As a member of NW mountain rescue team I am acutely aware of the valuable service we provide to members of the public on a totally voluntary basis, funded mainly by donations, and are on call 365 days a year (and yes we even went out on Christmas day 2020!)
As more people are holidaying at home, and enjoying the beautiful NI outdoors, unfortunately members of the public are getting into difficulty in rural and challenging terrain, and requiring our help, with call out's on the increase.
As a result, I have set myself a running challenge, over some of the difficult areas we have been tasked to in the past, in order to rescue walkers and climbers.
I plan to run 100km in 1 day from Portstewart to Cushendall, running over the 3 peaks of Slieveanorra, Trostan and Lurig.
Any small donation will help us buy equipment, upkeep of vehicles, help keep all members skills and training up to date and much more.
Thank you so much
