Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am sure you can all agree that the Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a very worthy charity to donate your hard earned money to, if you live in Yorkshire they are key to ensuring a rapid response and transfer to the appropriate treatment centre should any of our friends family or indeed ourselves need them.

So I am walking to work each day this week, Mon 9th -Fri 13th May (during National Walk to Work week) in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. This is a 7.1 mile walk each way, totalling 71 miles for the week. If you live along the valley bottom I am sure this would be a little easier - however I am walking from Lothersdale to work in Skipton. To say this is a little hilly is an understatement, so please help me to keep going this week by donating/sponsoring me whatever you can.

I greatly appreciate everyones sponsorship so far and to say thank you to those of you that might  wish to add to that.

So far I have walked 38,938 steps in this challenge, so far ....

FINAL CHALLENGE UPDATE: Well I have now finished my challenge and can say that I have been amazed by peoples kindness and generosity during the week. From sponsorship on the move to offers of a lift, food and refreshment - I have been truly amazed. To everyone who has sponsored me and everyone who has given me support through the week to help me reach the end I want to say a HUGE thankyou, I couldn't have done it without you!!!

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.
