Shadrake Family Hadrian’s Wall Walk · 12 August 2021

Story

The Shadrake family along with the support of the Regimental Casualty Officer, his wife Averil and Major Green will be taking on the 80+ mile walk through rolling countryside along Hadrian’s Wall starting on Thursday the 12th of August on the East coast and ending up on the West coast of England on Thursday the 19th August - Raising Money for The Colonels Fund.




Penelope Shadrake aged 7, and Zara Shadrake aged 5, have been training for this event during the COVID lockdown 3.0 and are increasingly anxious to get going as they have a true understanding of how the charitable funds raised will help Grenadier Guards & its Veterans in their time of need - just as the charity did when their father Carl Shadrake was medically discharged in August 2014, By funding educational courses to help find a new profession on leaving the Army and by helping fund new fitness equipment after changes in sport were needed to accommodate the injuries and recovery process. 




They were inspired by a Mount Snowdon trek they completed in Oct 2020 raising money for H4H then a 5 mile Poppy Run in November 2020 for the RBL. This time the event is going to be much more personal as the girls have been brought up around close friends and colleagues of Carl who have also been injured in battle through the realities of war. The charity has equally helped them and their families in their hour of need.




So the aim is to raise £15,000 for the Colonels Fund, the link is below so if you could spare any loose change and share this throughout your family and friends it will be appreciated by all. This is a massive task for the Shadrake family especially Penelope age 7, and Zara age 5 so let’s reached their target. 💂‍♀️
