Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

We are walking the West Highland Way in order to raise awareness and money for Meningitis Research Foundation.

Two year old Sofia Crockatt was suddenly struck down with Meningococcal Septicaemia in February 2007. Thankfully, after several months in hospital she managed to pull through. However, her recovery came at a huge cost - tragically she had to have her left leg amputated below the knee and her right leg was also severely damaged.

This little girl's strength and determination has been the inspiration for our fundraising.

We have also put together a 21 track compilation CD of various original songs, covers and traditional music, all profits again going to Meningitis Research Foundation.  WONDERLAND & FRIENDS "SONGS FOR SOFIA - THE CHARITY ALBUM" is NOW AVAILABLE. Track details and MP3s can be found at www.bebo.com/songsforsofiaCD

The most cost efficient way to buy online is to use www.paypal.com and send £12 per CD to steve.wonder@virgin.net . For cheques please email steve for details. Better still, buy direct from any band or team member for £10 (no postage or paypal charges). To reiterate, all profits from the sale of this CD go to Meningitis Research Foundation. All bands, musicians, photographer and graphic artist donated their songs and services free of charge. Many thanks to all concerned.

WE MADE IT

All 10 survived what we can only describe as one of the best weeks of our lives. Not a drop of rain all week, blue skies everyday with a fine breeze to keep us motoring. The camaraderie (the craic as we say in the west) was fantastic. With "King of the Road" Dave's "feet of flames" to Steve's vegepreferian diet we have stories to last a lifetime! We'll be updating Bebo pages soon.

The fundraising and welcome-home parties raised over £1500 - many thanks to all involved.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis Research Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
