Story

Our members are delighted to be partnering with Lancashire Mind dedicating one of the longest day of the year to an incredible feat of endurance walking from 4.30am til 9.30pm! That's 17 hours walking around a track, pushing physical and mental limits and proving you can put one step in front of another when you don't think you possibly can any more!

Mental health is an important topic to all our members, parents, carers, siblings and other family members alike, and it is great to be able to raise awareness and support, alongside 11 other local charities.

We are also using this challenge to raise much needed funds for our charity, supporting members with Down's Syndrome across East Lancs and beyond, through family and member social groups and peer support in particular.
