WALNEY TO BRIDLINGTON 2011

It seems like a good time to plan the next great charity fundraiser at Furness College.

Last year we woke at 3.30 am to pedal 118 miles across the top of Scotland just to see the sun set (and eat pies).  We were all amazed at how much was achieved in a single day, even with the “wrong” equipment and not enough preparation!

This year on the 29^th of May the plan is this. We will, over the course of three days, cycle the 210 miles from Walney to Bridlington. We plan to do this by staying in hostels or B+Bs and it will take place over the summer half term holidays.

We all like to do our bit for charity and during the later half of last year our mind was made up.  It’s a sad fact of life that we all lose loved ones and this became a reality for two members of the team.  Alan Connolly lost his grandfather of 84 years, Thomas Park and Dave “Puckers” Pucknell lost his father in law Alex Smith.

Both were lost after long battles with cancer and what made really difficult times bearable was the help given by McMillan cancer care nurses.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.

So please dig deep and donate now.
