Hello,
Thank you for coming far enough to read my page!
The wife of a good friend of mine (and fellow walker) is involved in the Thorne and Moorends Food Bank.
Christine has been kind enough to share some of the tales of woe that she has encountered over the previous 12 months and quite frankly I am struggling to understand.
I appreciate that there is poverty and struggling around the world, and am a regular donor to charities in that regard.
What is struggle to understand is that within 40 miles from my front door people are struggling to eat. That just doesn't seem fair.
I said I would do something for charity to raise some funds for the food bank to try and help in some small way.
Thus, Nick Skelton, Darrel King, Mick Aveling and myself are walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks on Friday 8 July.
This is not something any of us want to do, and I suspect will be tough on us.
The hope is that by putting ourselves out, we can make someone else's life a little easier.
I don't do sponsorship requests.....but as a one off I am doing this to raise funds for people to eat in my region.
Please sponsor me whatever you feel you can to help. It will be very much appreciated by me, but more importantly by the people who benefit at the food bank.
Thank you in advance.
John
