While walking around the countryside near to our homes in North Yorkshire during lockdown, Diana Williams and myself thought of a plan to extend our walks across the North York Moors from Rievaulx to the Shrine of our Lady of Mount Grace at Osmotherley. We started to build up our training. On Friday 18th June we will spend the day walking the almost 15 miles from my home in Rievaulx to the Shrine at Osmotherley. Several pilgrimage friends will join us, some from the start, and some along the way.

We are raising funds for FOALS to enable those who are unwell (AP's) to go to Lourdes. The fund also gives assistance to nurses and others to ensure AP's are well supported.

We hope we will be able to help as many as possible to return to Lourdes as soon as we can, and we thank you so much for your support!
