Well, it’s the 1st of September and the start of our fund raising year for our nominated charities.
This year kicks off on Friday the 3rd of September with our charity Golf Day at Rufford with 40 golfers raising money for our nominated charity, Cooper Street Project. Supporting The Cooper Street Kids who come from a very poor community based in Swelledam, South Africa. The children are fed daily by a lady called Cynthia Tobias from her own private home. Cynthia welcomes these children into her home with open arms and most children come from backgrounds where they may not get a meal each day. The Cooper Street Kids can seek refuge and play as children should play, and they each receive a nice hot meal and feel safe in her home.
The following day the 4th September both Geoff and I start our annual Charity fund raising walk by undertaking the Limestone way in Derbyshire a 38 mile walk over challenging terrain. We will be raising money for our other two charities, East Cheshire Hospice and Paces Charity. Paces support children and adults living with Neurological Conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, MS, Stroke, Parkinsons and Brain Injury.
Making life-changing steps every day and supporting those who may have otherwise been told there is no more hope for their future prospects.
From teaching children to walk, sit, stand, eat and be as independent as possible all in an environment they can be comfortable, build friendships and feel like they belong.
