Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So, here it is - walking 50 miles...it's a doddle, i agree I do that most months on the malls of the shopping centre! But then you hear it's set across the challenging terrain of the Pennines, and whilst it's set across the 26th & 27th June.....it's only one day really - you have to beat the sun around the course to the end of it; which setting off at day break (approx. 4:30am) will give us 17-18 hours to achieve it as we trek along the 'backbone of England.'

Our team of 6, 4 walkers and 2 drivers, will be marching on to raise as much money as possible and see what heights we can achieve - and for the record, I'm a walker not a driver!!!!

Why for MedEquip4Kids? Well, the centre has worked closely with Rachel, Kim and the team over the past couple of years, and this is our way of taking it to the next level! The pain and efforts we will be putting into this is nothing compared to what this Manchester based charity achieves on a daily basis helping poorly children come to terms with long-term illnesses and injuries.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you in advance,

Martin Ballard, Centre Manager
