My story

 

Thank you very much for visiting our fundraising page.

On February 28th 2010 we (Tim York, Andy Wignell, Duncan Simms, Tom Standen & now Kev Bazeley) are going to walk the whole length of the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail to raise money for Little Hearts Matter.

Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail is an unbroken 84 mile trail stretching from coast to coast, from Wallsend in the east to Bowness-on-solway in the west. (see attached map in photos section)

We are hoping to complete the 84mile trek over 6 days.  It has been quite some time since any of us have done any serious walking and it is likely to be a lot of hard work so please dig deep and sponsor us online.

**If you need further incentive to sponsor us, you'll be pleased to know that we are likely to get very cold and wet as we have foolishly decided to undertake this walk in late February!

So why are we doing this?  Well as many of you will know, my son, Solomon, was born with a rare and major heart defect called Tricuspid Atresia.  This effectively means he only has half of a functioning heart.  He has already undergone Open Heart Surgery in the first year of his life and he is certain to need further Open Heart Surgery over the next few years.  We are hoping to raise money for Little Hearts Matter, the charity that provide many forms of support for families of children with this, and similar, 'half a heart' conditions.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Little Hearts Matter gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
