Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. 

We will be walking 79 miles over 5 days across what is known as 'The Wolds Way'.

Although walking has always been a keen interest of mine, my
ambition to walk the Wolds Way is centred around my wish to walk in my father’s footsteps at a time when he, himself is unable to do so with me. Dove House Hospice has been there for my family so many times in the past and continues to support us in times of need, and because of this fact, the walk will be completed for Dove House Hospice, so they can continue to help people like ourselves. Despite the fact he cannot be with me physically on such a momentous occasion, he will be in my heart every step of the way as I strive to achieve one of the few long walks he has never fully accomplished.  Ollie Barlow (Age 16)

I have known the Barlow’s for a few years now and have
enjoyed many a time in their company. More of a solemn occasion this time however as a way of raising money for dove house hospice, a charity close to their hearts. I am going along on this adventure to support my friend and provide fun company for a long journey to Filey. Not only are we doing this for a good cause but to have a bit of fun along the way. Benjamin Urding (Age 16)

And a final word from us both...It will undoubtedly be an extremely difficult challenge for us both as we are venturing into unchartered territory, only ever going for a walk no further than 8 miles. However, this is most definitely a welcome one after the cancelling of our GCSE's and the extra long summer of isolation.  Thank you for your support.  Ollie & Benjamin
