I've signed up for another challenge....this time it is in aid of the work of the International Rescue Corps. A group of us are walking the length of Hadrian's Wall from Bowness on Solway on the west coast all the way to Newcastle on the East coast, a total of 84 miles, from 17-20 October. I'm not quite sure how it will work out practically...I guess the Scottish people will be on one side of the wall and the English people will be on the other :-0) The money raised will go directly to International Rescue Corps, which is made up purely of unpaid volunteers and is financed through donations. Operations are conducted by IRC both in the UK and overseas and range from providing safety cover at events to searching for survivors following natural disasters. Find out more details of what the organisation is / has been involved with at http://www.intrescue.org/ I really appreciate that you are considering sponsoring me (again!), the work of the International Rescue Corps is essential and your donation will go a long way to making sure that they are able to carry out their vital work. I am spending a week with the IRC in September, volunteering as a 'casualty' for a training exercise...I'll put an update on this page to let you know how I get on! Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: International Rescue Corps 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.
