Charity trustee and director of Otley-based Greenholme Carpets and Flooring, Simon Thomas has his walking boots on again raising vital funds for The Principle Trust Children's Charity, Skipton.

Simon is set to take on a challenging 26-mile marathon walk on Sunday 17th July around the spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. He aims to raise £2,500 for the children's charity which provides free week-long respite holidays to children who are underprivileged, disadvantaged, disabled, have life-limiting conditions, or who have experienced poverty, trauma or abuse.

Every penny we raise will help The Trust to extend its services to families across the entire Yorkshire region.”
