Can we say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last two weeks.

 

Dave & Adrian

 

 

Welcome Home Party Nag's Head, Scalby- 9th October

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We must be mad 200 miles in 11 days! Yes we are doing the Coast to Coast walk!

Judging the Talent nights seems like an easier way to make money for Saint Catherines, but if Soggy can master horse riding we can complete this walk and add to the £10,000 already raised for the hospice.

So get your debit card out and help us towards our target of £2000 by either donating here on our page which will benefit from gift aid, or popping into the Nags Head in Scalby where there wll be a sponsor form and collection box.

 

We are hoping to send photos and comments from along our walk which starts on the 27th September and culminates in a celebration party at the Nags Head on the 9th October, vicky is kindly putting a buffet on for us ( and also just happens to be my birthday,  so get yourself there and dont buy me a pint put the money in the collection box!)

 

Thanks for your support for us and the hospice and if anyone wants to join us along the route we can let you know where we will be each night!
