After much thought, I have decided to raise money for the Mountain Rescue Organisation of England and Wales. I think the MRO are so frequently taken for granted . . . if you've ever walked in the hills, climbed a crag, even stepped off the train on Snowdon, if you had an accident then it would be the Mountain Rescue teams which would step in to help. The Police frequently rely on them in times of extreme weather too, as they are equipped to deal with some of the harshest environments. Yet despite this, they are an entirely voluntary organisation. Everyone involved volunteers in their spare time, it doesn't matter if it's a warm Sunday afternoon in July or a wet Christmas Day - they are on standby every hour of the day, every day of the year.
We are very fortunate to have these highly experienced teams on hand to help and unlike many other countries, their services are not charged to the patient. Please do your bit by sponsoring me on my mad adventure, by visiting www.justgiving.com/foldingadventure
Any donations, however small, are greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
