Story
Kate Steele was our much loved Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunty, Friend and Teacher. She was also a devoted Grandmother who loved nothing more than writing stories for her Grandchildren to read. When Kate died of Cancer in April 2013 she left a series of books about “Pop”, which are based on the antics of her husband. These books have given much joy to her own Grandchildren, her family would like to share these with the world and raise money for a charity close to Kate while doing so.
Her Family and friends will be raising money throughout 2014 to pay for publishing these books. “ A collection of Stories by Kate Steele”. All proceeds will benefit terminally ill children and their families, through THE KIRSTY APPEAL FOR FRANCIS HOUSE CHILDREN’S HOSPICE. The children in the school where Kate worked will be providing the illustrations for the book.
In order to raise the funds required her Family and friends will be taking part in numerous events over the Globe in 2014 including UK, France, Madagascar and New Zealand. To date we are taking part in the following events:
In August, Colin Steele; Will be cycling from Paris to Blackpool in the Tower to Tower challenge. A distance of more than 500 miles in 7 days.http://www.tower2tower.org.uk/the-challenge/
In September, Jim Steele: Will be running a Self-supported Ultra Marathon in Madagascar. A distance of 170 miles in 7 days.http://www.4deserts.com/beyond/madagascar/
In May, Martin Steele, Colin Steele, Mike Steele, Sue Steele, Chris Moylan, Hannah Bushwell, John Hunt and Matt Poyner will be taking part in the Great Manchester run.http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=4
