Story

Hi guys!

My name is Alannah & I'm a mountain rescue volunteer for Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team Plymouth (DSRTP).

DSRTP are a charity fully funded by donations from kind supporters like yourselves and completely ran by amazing volunteers.

This year I am going to walk the High Moor Link which runs from Buckfastleigh to Tavistock. This route is around 37km long, covering rough, boggy and hilly terrain over some of Dartmoor's most beautiful landscapes. I've never attempted anything like this before and if you know me, you know how much I hate cardio!

During the walk I will be carrying a full kit bag, which contains everything I have on me whenever we get a call out. All the kit plus water and, most importantly, snacks, this will probably weigh around 10kgs. This will be my toughest challenge yet.

Any amount you can donate to DSRTP and my crazy walk would be much appreciated. The volunteers we have are on standby 24/7, 365 days a year to help with missing or injured people or major events (Keyham & Southway bombs for example) and all money raised will go to keeping the team well equipped to deal with any incidents that come our way.

Thank you for reading!

Much love, Alannah
