Story

#GSUKChallenge22 will see our coaches (joined by friends, family and teammates) set off from Skipton RFC on 30th April 2022 and visit North Ribblesdale, Wharfedale, Ilkley, Baildon and Keighley rugby clubs in order on foot, before finishing the 65+ mile loop back at Skipton RFC on 1st May.

My chosen charity is Winston's Wish. Sadly, I lost both my parents at the age of 15 so Winston's Wish is very close to my heart. 
Winston’s Wish was the UK’s first childhood bereavement charities. They have supported bereaved children and young people since 1992 and they continue to lead the way in providing specialist child bereavement support services across the UK. Winston’s Wish provides emotional and practical bereavement support to children, young people and those who care for them. Their expert teams offer one off and ongoing bereavement support and they also provide online resources, specialist publications and training for professionals so please if you can, please give generously.

In the period leading up to the big day, the team will be walking hundreds of miles across hundreds of hours training for the main event. Follow me and the full journey through @giraffesportsuk on Facebook and @girafferugby

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
