Story

Hi

This is my 35th year for doing something for Children In Need and raised over £134K .

The money was raised by doing various challenges over the years . These were walking the 32 mile ringway walk around Bradford, Cycling between Blackpool and Scarborough , the pram pushes, and street collections in Leeds city centre wearing my diving gear and treasure chest. I also collected in my diving gear around some office blocks and places were I have worked.

The Pram pushes have been going on for the past 26 years ever since my son Daniel was born . Born in March and that November he was wrapped up warm and pram pushed back to Leeds from Ilkley with the help of my Dad Alan.

Roll on to year 27 and we have now raised over £100K , walked 600 miles or over 1 million steps for Children In Need.

It's the same Mothercare pram we push that Daniel was in when he was a baby . We have a Big Pudsey Bear in the pram these days and I also carry a Pudsey bear on my back. We get a lot of attention as we walk back to Leeds with drivers honking and pedestrians donating and cheering us on our way.

If you're able any donation would be great fully received and please think about gift aiding it .

On behalf of the children and myself ,

♥️ THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤️
