This june I’m teaming up with my mad Manc cousin Martin Green and his colourful band of followers that are associated with the local community charity that he runs - The Riff Raff Society! They have been delivering good deeds for people in need for over 13 years and they have been responsible for helping many families facing hardship.
I’m very proud to be part of their team this summer as they are partnering with the Blake Family to honour their son Nathan who tragically passed away due to an undiagnosed heart condition.
To help limit the likelihood of a devastating tragedy like this happening to other families in the future .
Riff Raff are thrilled to support The Blake’s Wish to fund a second Heart monitoring event hosted by CRY (Cardiac/Respiratory in the Young) to screen as many young people at risk from Cardiac issues as possible at a cost of around £11,000 for funding the day.
To fund this we are walking Hadrians wall, going coast to coast in 4 days (Most adventure groups take 6/7 days) Bowness to Solway to Wallsend Newcastle is 84 miles with a further 5 miles taking us coast to caast ending in Tynemouth.
I’m going to be part of a MancRoman Army that will be taking over The Wall pushing each other in Wheelbarrows along the whole route as part of a Madcap assault on this famous and historic trail. Walking approximately a Marathon a day. Most walkers take 7 days to do the walk of 84 miles. We are doing an extra 5 miles to make it coast to coast and taking just 4 days to complete the challenge.
Please part with a small donation to help me help and the Riff Raff Society to support this family in achieving something very special as there is every chance that your donation could save a life.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and support me I have a feeling that this might be a one hell of a massive life experience.
