Lykewake Walk · 15 June 2009

Chernobyl Children's Lifeline has rebranded as CCLL - The Helping Hand for Ukraine and we prioritize help for children and their families in the northern areas of the country who are suffering from the ongoing conflict. We carry out our work without any political affiliation or bias.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
 
As I had a big "O" birthday this year, I was looking for a challenge, to prove to myself that I was not already over the hill!  So on September 5th I am going to undertake the Lykewake Walk, a 40 mile hike over the North York Moors with my sister in law, Alena and friend, Isabel.

In order to do the walk "properly" and be eligible to join the Lykewake Club, the walk has to be completed in 24 hours or less!  Having completed some training walks I know this isn't going to be a stroll in the park, but then if it were too easy it wouldn't be a challenge!  
For more information about the walk go to http://www.lykewake.org.uk/

 

By doing the walk, I am aiming to raise money for the Mid Surrey Link of Chernobyl Children Lifeline, (www.midsurreylink.org) a charity I have been involved with for a numer of years.  The Mid Surrey Link brings a group of 16 children over from Belarus each summer to give them a four-week break from the after effects of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.  It costs about £550 to bring each child over. You can read more by visiting the charity's website.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Chernobyl Children's Lifeline 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.

Thanks so much for your support.
