Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>On the weekend of the 4-5th June 2011, former classmates and long-time friends Simon Platt, Nicky Partridge, Adam Austin and Shaun 'Hardcore' Hardie - aka 'The Albany Wrong Un's -&nbsp;will be partaking in the annual Oxfam Trailtrekker Challenge.</p> <p>Despite most of us only ever walking as far as the pub - and only when we have a&nbsp;fair wind behind us -&nbsp;we have decided in our collective wisdom/ignorance (*delete as applicable)&nbsp;to dive straight in at the deep&nbsp;end&nbsp;and attempt the&nbsp;notoriously difficult 'Gold' course -<strong>Thats almost 30 hours of near non-stop walking </strong>(yes, that's day and night without sleep!) across the Yorkshire Dales with 250 other teams all helping to raise money&nbsp;for people in poverty here in the UK.</p> <div class="bodyText"> <p>With only 2/3rds of those starting&nbsp;the&nbsp;Gold course actually making it to the finish line, it promises to be one of the most taxing and difficult challenges any of us have undertaken.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>With that it mind&nbsp;any donation, no matter the amount, is gratefully received </strong>with every penny raised helping to&nbsp;make every mile - and blister - all the more worthwhile.</p> <p>And now for the small print...</p> <p><em>"Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
