It was 3 years today that George completed his first 5 mile walk for his 100 mile challenge walking 5 miles every day in rain or shine ☔️☀️ He managed to raise over £1750, all for children’s mental health charities 👏🏻👏🏻 #proud #community #pontefract #support #friends
George and Charlotte took part in the MNDA Run 60 miles in August challenge last year. They raised £555 🧡💙 Are you up for a challenge for this worthy cause? #NationalSiblingsDay #mnd #awareness #fundraiser #charity #mnd hero #facebookchallenge #fundraiser 2024 #TeamMND
Back in December George sold packets of eco friendly reindeer food raising £330 for Castleford Hedgehog Rescue. On Saturday he visited the rescue to meet some of the cute, prickly tenants 🦔 #hedgehogs
