Would you like to support my young daughters' amazing 210 mile sponsored walk?

My two daughters age 10 and 12 are part way through walking the Severn Way which is a 210 mile long distance path from the source of the River Severn in mid-Wales to where the river reaches the sea in the Bristol Channel.

We are walking it a day or two at a time (approx. 8-10 mile sections) and they are raising money for RSPCA and the Shropshire Wildlife Trust - aiming to raise over £500 in total. So far they have raised around £100 and completed 52 miles - there is still a long way to go.

If you, or anyone you know, would like to support their efforts please donate via the following links with all money going direct to the charities:

To support Sky (age 10) & the RSPCA go to:
http://www.justgiving.com/skyswalk

To support Tiger-Lily (age 12) & the Shropshire Wildlife Trust go to:

Alternatively if you prefer to support SportRelief you could sponsor me (their Mum!) via

THANK YOU for any support,
Gill

    Another quick update (Dec 2006). We managed to complete 85 miles this year and have raised over £450 sp far. The girls working hard both walking and raising funds. For example my older daughter (12) just did a radio interview and attended a Wildlife Trust fair to attract more sponsors.

    So if you would like to contribute to their efforts the links are above! 125 miles to go ......

    Thank you.
