WE’VE DECIDED TO TAKE ON THIS CHALLENGE AS WE FEEL IT’LL BE OUR HARDEST ONE YET, ITS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE OUR LONGEST. EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS WE TRY AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE GOOD PROJECT AS ANYONE CAN REALISTICALLY GET INVOLVED, WITH A BIT OF TRAINING. THE OFFICIAL WALK DATE IS 6TH-7TH SEPTEMBER 2025.
AS YOU MAY KNOW, WE ARE PARTNERED WITH COVENTRY, WARWICKSHIRE & WORCESTERSHIRE MIND. OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS ARE FOR THEM. WE ALSO HAVE A BIGGER GOAL, OF FINALLY HITTING THE £10,000 MARK THIS YEAR TOO! AS WE HAVE BEEN HOVERING ON AROUND £8,000 FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE TOO LONG NOW.
HOPEFULLY THIS IS A WORTHY CAUSE AND CHALLENGE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER DONATING TO. ALL DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL.
