LAST YEAR WIGAN COUNCIL'S REABLEMENT TEAM TOOK PART IN THE RACE FOR LIFE TO RAISE MONEY FOR CANCER RESEARCH AND WE DID FANTASTICALLY WELL AND RAISED MONEY WELL ABOVE WHAT WE EXPECTED.

THIS YEAR WE HAVE BEEN THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX IM

TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING WE COULD DO TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE LOCAL HOSPICE WHO ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO RAISE FUNDS, WHICH MUST BE DIFFICULT AS LOCKDOWN HAS MEANT THAT FUND RAISING EVENTS HAVE HAD TO BE CANCELLED.

ALL OF US HAVE FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY CANCER AND THE HOSPICE IS REALLY VALUABLE IN HELPING PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH VERY DIFFICULT TIMES SO I AM SURE THAT WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR FUNDRAISING.

SO BELOW IS THE PLAN …………………….

REABLEMENT ROAD TO NOWHERE

WE ARE DOING A VIRTUAL TRIP AND START BY RUNNING TO PARIS – YES RUN TO PARIS AND OUR AIM IS TO GET THERE WITHIN 4 WEEKS.

WIGAN TO PARIS IS APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO RUN/WALK/CYCLE A TOTAL OF 500 MILES AND WE WILL AIM TO COMPLETE THIS WITHIN 4 WEEKS – IF WE HAVE 10 PEOPLE THEY WOULD NEED TO COMPLETE 50 MILES EACH IN 4 WEEKS



IF WE HAVE MORE THAN 10 PEOPLE JOINING US WE COULD CONTINUE ON TO ANOTHER CITY – HENCE THE TITLE ‘REABLEMENT ROAD TO NOWHERE’ LETS SEE HOW FAR WE CAN GET!!!
