My story

 

The Dales Way - 80 miles from Ilkley to Bowness (Leeds to The Lakes) for a girl who likes nothing better than curling up on the sofa to watch a good movie with a box of Milk Tray handy.

A thousand thanks for choosing to sponsor my walk, you will be helping me to help the special needs people who live in the Kodumela project area - I appreciate it enormously and so will they. Visit www.choko.org.uk to see lots of information about the way Choko helps a community on the other side of the world in South Africa.

You can also visit www.stridingandhelping.blogspot.com to share the pain of training and, between April 27th and May 3rd, the Dales Way odyssey itself; I will try to put a few words and pictures on each day during the actual walk but I can't promise - I might be too exhausted to do anything but eat Bounty bars and I use the term "walk" loosely because I might be crawling some of the time!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure; it is also the most efficient way to sponsor me. World Vision UK, on behalf of Choko, will receive your money directly and ensure it is used specifically for the special needs project. If you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

If you would rather make a pledge and pay your sponsorship after the event, you can use the Pledge form on the Sponsored Walk page in Fundraising on the Choko website, e-mail me on hilary@wildfireprojects.net or give me a call on 01844 290053 then send me a cheque when I've trudged all 80 miles.

Every step I take will make a difference - it's up to you just how big a difference.
