Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 24th April 2010 Heath, Colin, Paul, Chris, David, Anthony, Matthew, David, Dean and Peter will be taking part in the annual 3 Peaks Race in aid of The Cri du Chat Syndrome Support Group, a charity very close to Heath's and his families heart. Heath's 2 year old son Nathaniel has Cri du Chat Syndrome and they receive a great deal of support from them. Cri du Chat is a very rare chromosome disorder affecting 1:50,000 live births. The race covers a distance of 24 miles and takes in the Yorkshire peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent - a total climb of 5000ft!

Many thanks for any support you can give us in helping this very worthwhile charity!!!!!!!!! 

And if you Gift Aid your donation, the charity can claim back and extra 25% of your donation! So whatever amount you donate the Cri cu Chat Syndrome Support Group will get an extra 25% on top! Its great!
