Story
Kate , Ben , Pippa , Claz, Nat, Nicole and Lee are inexperienced, novice walkers, at the moment ! However they're on a mission to train hard in the coming weeks to 'step out' of their comfort zones attempt the Yorkshire ' 3 Peaks Challenge ' on Saturday 5th March, as part of the National StreetGames' Fit & Fed ' fundraiser (whom Kate works for).
As a team we are extremely passionate about raising money to support this very worthwhile cause and would really appreciate your support if possible; every bit really does help!
Why ?
4.2 million children in the UK now live in poverty. Over the last year, one in five parents say that they have gone without food themselves to feed their children. This number has dramatically increased as a result of Covid19, resulting in Unicef having to step in for the first time in 70 years.
Marcus Rashford's fantastic work around child food poverty has shone such an important light on this desperate situation, but further action is still needed.
StreetGames are working tirelessly to help provide more safe, local opportunities for children to access free food and activities in the holiday period. However, further fundraising is essential to cope with the increasing number of children who need this support and we want to do our bit to facilitate these opportunities.
