Sheffield Mencap is a local charity providing support and services to children and adults with learning disabilities. We support up to 600 people every week. We believe every person with a learning disability should be supported to reach their potential and live the life they choose.

Story

<p>On the 18th March 2011, George Dodsworth and I will be taking part in 'Hallam Great Escape'. The idea of this challenge is to get as far away from Sheffield as possible within 36 hours, whilst spending no money at all for transport, accomodation, food etc...</p> <p>Now we arent doing this because we don't like Sheffield and want to get away from it as quick as possible, we are doing this because we want to raise money for 2 chosen charities, 'Sheffield Mencap' and Barnado's. We also want to test our persuasive skills on the people of the world!</p> <p>So we have set up this page in hope that some lovely people will make a kind donation to this great event!</p> <p>Please check both charity websites out and look at what great work they both do...</p> <p>http://www.sheffieldmencap.org.uk/&nbsp; (Sheffield Mencap)</p> <p>http://www.barnardos.org.uk/?gclid=CP_09uTuxqcCFUtC4QodRUg8CQ&nbsp; (Barnado's)</p> <p>Stories from other 'Great Escape' or 'Jailbreak' events tell of people getting as far as China and USA, which is quite incredible! Myself and George will be doing our utmost to get as far as possible so hopefully you can match our efforts by kindly donating some money.</p> <p>Any donation will be greatly appreciated, but please also send this on to as many as people possible. And wish us luck!</p> <p><br />Thank You</p> <p>Andy Yates and George Dodsworth</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
