Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am walking all 214 of the fells in the Lake District, based on the list compiled by the guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright in the 1950s and 1960s (hence the '214 Wainwrights'). I am also setting myself the challenge of doing this without using a car at any point. Only travel on foot and by public transport is permissible.

You can follow my progress in much more detail on my blog at http://214wainwrights.wordpress.com. Or, subscribe to my Facebook group 'Drew Walks the Lake District'. This JustGiving page is just here for the fundraising.

I plan to finish all 214 by some time in early 2013. (I might get it done earlier, but that's a reasonable estimate at the moment.) Throughout the remainder of the project I hope to raise at least £2,500 for the combined Mountain Rescue services of the Lake District.

12 local Mountain Rescue teams cover the Lakes area. They perform an absolutely essential service, and may be called upon in all weathers and seasons to help people who have got into difficulty upon the fells. Many lives have been saved by their actions - and all by volunteers, with a service propped up exclusively by donations and grants. Without people like these, none of us would be able to enjoy the fells as safely or with such peace of mind. They all deserve our support. I am doing my bit by this fundraising effort, small though it is.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
