Good luck to Matthew Cripps who’s taking part in a cycling challenge in Lancashire in May. He’s raising money for the Children’s Heart Association and the Children’s Heart Federation, check out his Virgin Money Giving page to see how he’s getting on.
Congratulations and our thanks to Kevin Fitzsimmons who has raised over £300 for the Association competing in the Eden Project marathon. Kevin says
“Completed the Eden Project marathon in 4hours 8mins absolutely crazy course (forests,big puddles, mud to your ankles, down country lanes, up big hills including scrambling up one huge one) with crazy weather (rain with thunder and lightning) but it was all good fun and for a great cause!”
With only a few weeks to go it’s getting close to Lily Clough’s adventure in Tanzania to climb the highest mountain in Africa. Her trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro will take her up 5,895 metres and she has kindly decided to support our charity.
Her Virgin Money Giving page can be found here and we wish her good luck, a safe climb and our thanks for supporting the Children’s Heart Association.
Derrick Clark and friends chose to support the Children’s Heart Association on their recent trek from coast to coast. He writes:
My name is Derrick Clark and in April this year, together with others, I walked the 195 mile long ‘Wainwright Coast To Coast’ path from the Irish Sea at St. Bees Head to the North Sea at Robin Hoods Bay, to help raise money for the Children’s Heart Association at Alder Hey Hospital. It was hard going at times through deep snow and driving rain but very enjoyable!
I, together with the support of my many, very generous sponsors, am delighted to have raised the sum of £1395.00 for your charity.
Our congratulations for completing the trek our greatest thanks go to Derek and friends and all who supported them for raising such an amazing amount of money for our charity.
