Story
After 2 years away from fundraising for Make-A-Wish foundation due to Covid-19 halting most events, I am making up for it by taking part in 3 events this year:
1. Tough Mudder 21st May in Henley-on-Thames - a 15km obstacle course... Apparently I don't know what I've let myself in for with this one :)
2. The Yorkshire 3 Peaks 5th August - a 24-mile circular climb of the three highest peaks in The Yorkshire Dales: Pen-Y-Ghent (694m a.s.l), Whernside (736m a.s.l) and Ingleborough (724m a.s.l) - all within 12 hours.
3. The Thames Challenge - a 3-day 100km canoe paddle down the Thames, starting at Newbridge and finishing at Reading, with overnight camping stops.
Make-A-Wish® UK creates life-changing wishes that revive the childhood that critical illness takes away, bringing light and joy at the darkest of times for a child and their loved ones. But right now, there are 60,000 children in the UK living with a critical condition, and they don’t have the resources to be that light for everyone. Your generous support will help them step closer to achieving their vision: to grant a wish to every eligible child. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.
The costs of these events will be covered by myself, or by Abbott directly, and so 100% of the money you sponsor me will go directly to children whose wishes will be granted thanks to you.
Thank you so much in advance for your kind donation, Emma x
