Some people haven’t been quite to lucky, as we witnessed last year as we sat by the Sty Head Stretcher box on a wet and wild day before our final leg up Great Gable.</span></p>

It’s important to keep them funded, especially since you never know when you might need them. As you know, we love walking, I don’t need anything, so the best present for my 50<sup>th</sup> would be for you to donate to the Mountain Rescue. When we’re back in the Lakes most of the walking we do is around Wasdale and since the Wasdale MRT are based in our village (Gosforth)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought what better than to have my 50<sup>th</sup> dedicated to help keep them funded!</span></p>

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.</span></p>
