Izzak Walton BNI is a group of businesses who meet each week (currenty via Zoom) to support each other and pass business and referrals to one another. One of our members is Lesley Knight, a fundraiser for the H.E.L.P Appeal - an organisation that helps fund helipads at hospitals and trauma centres across the UK.

Lesley has a very personal reason for supporting the H.E.L.P Appeal after she lost her 10 year old son in a road traffic accident. Read her story here: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/i-wont-little-boys-death-11620476.

We plan on walking for 24 hours, without sleep, from Oswestry Hospital (where there is a helipad part-funded by the H.E.L.P Appeal) to Stafford Town Centre. We will be joined on route by various members of the group who will also be completing personally challenging distances over the route.

The total distance is 56 miles and takes us from Oswestry through Shrewsbury and Newport before finishing in Stafford Town centre the following day.

• Start 14:00 Friday 25th September (Oswestry)
• Total distance 56 miles
• Total walking time 24 hours
• Finish 14:00 Saturday 26th September (Stafford Town Centre)
