Because of the wholly unnecessary Coronavirus lockdown there is no mass Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks walk as planned on June 13. Instead I shall walk alone for 33.3 miles around the three biggest fields here at the Welsh Hovel. And having done little training I am not in great shape - I am going to struggle. But I MUST finish as Woodlarks needs £48,000 just to survive so please do sponsor me HERE.As a reminder…
Woodlarks is a unique place offering a one-off holiday experience for folks so disabled that there is nowhere else they can go. It really is an amazing place and is run on a shoestring by the heroic Nick Richards.
Covid 19 means no camps this year which means that the little income the site generates has gone. But it still has some maintenance costs and a bit of capital spend that it had committed to. The bottom line is that if Woodlarks is to re-open next year at all, if it is to survive, we need to raise £48,000
I have donated £1,000 and will give more. I don’t ask for that much as I know times are rough but every donation helps. As of today we are at just over 30% of the target needed to ensure the very survival of Woodlarks.
My first big training walk on the track here in North Wales was on Sunday. Five miles. Not much. But I had Joshua on my back for two of the seven circuits and one kind neighbour pledged £200 to the cause. On Tuesday I aim to do closer to eight miles as I start the build up. The mad neighbour who cliams that my training track (i.e. a lane where the grass has been cut) threatens social distancing and will see her dog stolen was encountered just once. Perhaps she was hiding, feeling ashamed by a social media pile on which I shall discuss later on my own website.
As you await that, Please make a donation HERE
In advance, I thank you,
Tom
