Sick Kids charity walk - NLC

[Edin430]

Hi guys,

Bit of an appeal actually. 13 people from my work (including me) will be completing the 3 Peaks Hill Walking challenge in aid of the Sick Kids in 7 weeks time and we are seeking some generous people to donate some items to help us.

Anything you think might help - food, water, energy drinks, walking gear and most importantly prizes (of any kind!) to use for fundraising.

Hopefully some people can help and please pass on to anyone you think might be able to.

Thanks guys

Lewis

Someone has asked for a bit more detail so thought i'd add to the post:

The money is being raised for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation based in Edinburgh.

We are aiming to raise money specifically for two projects:
i) renovate the playroom at a cost of £2,500
ii) purchase special speech and language equipment to benefit children who have suffered Cleft Lip and Palette. Around 20 children a month would benefit from this equipment which costs £12,500.

We won't raise all the money required through this challenge alone but combined with other events we have planned throughout the year we hope to hit the target.

Again we are not looking for monetary donations here (unless you want to offer, obviously) just anything you/your business can spare to help with the challenge or fundraising. Anything business related will get their names/websites on the event photos and details which will be shared with all colleagues in our work (c100k people) on the main intranet page.

Details on the charity can be found at their website.......

Making sick kids walk, even for charity, seems a tad harsh.

We're also aiming to complete the challenge in 24 hours which should make for an interesting time, considering i've never hill walked in my puff
