LUMPS 20 Miles 20 Pubs Walk
Longridge 20/20 is raising money for Rosemere Cancer Foundation
Story
The biggest event that everyone knows LUMPS for is, of course, the Longridge 20 Miles 20 Pubs Walk (how we wish we had patented the title 20/20 before the cricket authorities got hold of it!).
In 1993 Alan joined up with his fellow long distance walkers in Preston to walk what was then 20 miles 20 boddington pubs. By the third walk in 1995 the decision was made to raise money for a local specialist school and the rest, as they say, is history.
20/20 has grown in popularity from 42 walkers in 1995 to 420 walkers in 2017. LUMPS have raised money for 24 charities or causes since its humble start in 1993 and the efforts of LUMPS members has seen over £150,000 raised in total.
For its 25th anniversary walk, LUMPS members are no less ambitious and hope to raise as much money as possible for a charity close to LUMPS member’s hearts - the Rosemere Cancer Foundation.
The Rosemere Cancer Foundation supports world class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria. Their work, in funding cutting edge equipment, research projects into diagnosis and treatment, along with high quality training to ensure the best possible patient care, is recognised and respected throughout the area.
This expertise and the level of care from Rosemere has recently been experienced by LUMPS members and our friends; which is why we have taken the decision to donate all the funds to Rosemere Cancer Foundation from this, our 25th anniversary walk.
We cannot thank everyone enough for everyone’s efforts over the years and here’s to many more!
