Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

After my little nephew Frankie was diagnosed with Fragile X I wanted to do something which could help and discovered the best way to do this was via the Fragile X society.

"The Fragile X Society was formed in 1990 by families whose children had just been diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome. At that time there were no facilities to support and inform families about any aspect of fragile X, and so the Society came into existence.

Discovering that your child has fragile X can be a devastating experience. We want families to have the opportunity of support from others who know the problems, and to have access to full information about the syndrome, including the latest medical, psychological and educational research findings.

With a fuller understanding of the condition, parents can be far more constructive and effective in helping their children to reach their full potential."

So I will be attempting to walk The Pennine Way to raise much needed funds to assist the Society in their aims.

I will be commencing the walk on Monday 5th July 2010 approx 0800hrs from Edale in Derbyshire and finishing on Saturday 24th July 2010 at Kirk Yetholm in (Total 260 miles).

I will have a camper van and driver as support and will be walking with one other person who will not be directly involved in fundraising.

If you would like to know more then I will be delighted to get a phone call from you; in the meantime I will update the site with progress of the event.

I have put a target to be raised but please give as much or as little as you can as they say at Tescos "every little helps".

Very Best Regards Mick
