Brian's STC-Walk The World
Fundraising for Save the Children
Story
I am Treasurer of the Preston fundraising Branch and walking seemed a perfect way to help raise much needed funds for the work of Save the Children in these unprecedented times.
Together with my wife, Arlette, we decided to raise funds via these pages for our Northern Fundraisers team and the Preston Branch by collectively walking the virtual 2,786 miles to Al Hol refugee camp in Syria
Finally after 282 days and 2,786 miles, on 17 February Arlette & I reached our virtual destination of Al Hol in Syria.
To date (17/2/22) our efforts have raised £1,020 for Save the Children’s projects which had suffered through expenses/restrictions imposed during the covid epidemic and the UK Government’s draconian cuts to UK overseas aid. ( The estimated government cuts for 2021 alone were £4bn)
We are very grateful to everyone who has supported us in any way by helping us to raise this magnificent amount
Should you want to join in with a monetary celebration of our success my page will be open to receive donations for several more weeks
Thank you again for all your support.
Brian
