Story
In memory of our dear friend Keith Sutcliffe (aka Sutty) we are raising funds for an organisation close to his heart: Mountain Rescue.
The following is taken from the Mountain Rescue page:
About mountain rescue
Mountain rescue team members are on call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to recover climbers from precipitous crags, reunite lost walkers with their pals and ensure injured and sick casualties are safely delivered into vital hospital care.
But they also regularly help search for missing children and vulnerable adults, on and off the hills, whilst administering sympathetic support to their families. They search river banks and swift water, and wade chest-deep through flooded urban streets aiding swimmers, kayakers and devastated homeowners.
And, between them, they rescue a frankly stunning number of dogs, cows, sheep and any number of other animals, from all manner of inaccessible places.
All this whilst continuing to practise and hone their first aid skills, technical ropework, water rescue and search management, and maintaining their bases, equipment and vehicles – not to mention taking time to maintain their own fitness. Oh, and did we mention they’re all volunteers?
Mountain rescue. So much more than mountains.
Sutty loved the mountains, and climbing and generally being outdoors - help us to support them in his honour.

4 years agoWow! Thank you so much everyone! We exceeded the £1000 target which is absolutely fantastic news! Due to an error on my part in setting up the page initially, we had to close the donations early so that JustGiving could change it from a crowdfunding page to a charity fundraiser and send the donations directly to the Mountain Rescue account - who are already set up on here to receive donations - apologies for any confusion. Once again, many thanks for your generosity, Sutty would have been over the moon! Take care Marie

4 years agoThank you so much for all the shares, bumps and donations - it's great that we have passed our target! Please keep sharing the link with friends and via social media, we will keep the donation page open until early July. Sharing is still a great way to contribute to the cause and raise awareness of MRT.

Despite rarely actually meeting, for 20 yrs you've been a friend. It's barely been a week but I already miss you. I hope you are happy with Doreen, you stubborn, opinionated, kind old bugger.
