Midnight Walk · 7 May 2008

Since 1988, St Luke’s has been providing specialist, palliative care and support to local people, supporting them in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Our support begins from the moment someone is diagnosed, through to palliative care and ultimately end of life care.

Story

Hello Family, Friends and Colleagues,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. The three of us are taking part in the Midnight Walk for St.Lukes (Cheshire) Hospice on the 28th June 2008. The walk starts at Reaseheath College in Nantwich at midnight and goes to Bannatynes Healthclub in Crewe and back again. Its 13.1 miles ( a half marathon) For more info visit http://www.midnightwalk.co.uk/.

This will be the first year any of us has participated but hopefully if all goes well and we make it to the end, it will the first of many. Normally we spend our free time together in the pub, but we are trying to do something more worthwhile here so please dig deep and sponsor us!

We hope to start our training soon for the event and will keep the page updated with how we are getting on.

Once again thank you for your support and donations

Nat, Sarah and Jackie

********TRAINING UPDATE 12/05TH**********

Hi its Natalie, i managed to get a bit of training in yesterday in the gorgeous sunshine. Managed 4 miles with 2 dogs and a Dave in tow . It probably wasnt the best idea in flip flops but wasnt too bad. Hopefully the 3 of us will be able to organise our busy schedules and get together for some training soon.

****************JUST OVER A WEEK TO GO**************

So its just over a week to go and we are all very excited. We have all been doing a bit of training and doing the last push to raise as much money as we can. It should be really good fun!

*****************JUST OVER 24 HRS TO GO**************

Just over 24hrs to go and all us lovely ladies will be walking 13.1 miles! Me and Jackie are ready to go and are hoping Sarah will be well enough to join us. It should be a fun filled and exciting evening and we are looking forward to it. We would just like to take this oppurtunity to thank everyone who has sponsored us so far, we are very grateful. Next update will be after the walk. 

**********WE ONLY GONE AND DONE IT*************

So we have done it! All three of us made it in 4hrs 20mins. After being stuck near the back at the quarter way through stage we managed to make up some ground and are very pleased with our time. It was gruelling and a lot harder than anticipated, but it was an absolutely fabulous evening. I think i speak for all of us when i say its one of the best things we have ever done. The amount of support we recived from people out on the streets and driving past in their cars was phenominal. We will definately be doing it again next year! Thanks again to everyone who sponsored us. We are having a count up of how much we raised and i will let everyone know, there are also a couple of pictures i will send round once i got them off my camera! Thanks all and see you again next year!!!!!!
