Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
This challenge is something that has been on Claire's bucket list for years, and after deciding a few months ago to "just do it on her own" (due to very few normal people feeling the need to walk up a hill for 8 days), it was Jon who made the statement "this sounds like a Jen Stockdale kinda thing...."
And how right he was!
After not a lot of deliberation, we quickly signed ourselves up and have finally put down the wine glasses (kinda) long enough to start some training.
Our decision to raise some money whilst challenging ourselves, simply comes from many family and friends who have suggested we should. Whilst we are self funding the climbs, the added inspiration of any donations to either of our 2 chosen charities will no doubt help spur us on.
As animal lovers, both of us have a place in our hearts for any animal in need - in particular dogs. And as we lean on our furry friends River and Ora to get us out training and walking over the next few months, we also recognise the thousands of animals in the UK that don't have the luxury of warm fires and full bellies to go home to, and as such would love to offer some support to this particular branch. The Crew and Nantwich RSPCA have recently found Claire's parents their newest family member, Milly, in the shape of a very lovable little dog, with a sad past and a bright future - thanks to the work done by the incredible team there.
No amount is too small so please feel free to donate anything you can. Every penny, is just an added bonus knowing our crazy hill climb may be helping a deserving animal in the UK find its forever home.
Thank you and WISH US LUCK!!!
