Our group of local heroes are rising to the challenge of 70k in May – walking, running (10k and marathon), cycling (the distance from Lands End to – Romanby), and swimming (70k = 2,800 lengths) to get there, we hope, several times over!
Your donation will encourage us along the way, and will be put to such good use in Christian Aid's work to help the most in need push back against poverty and make a future for their families.
The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions. £10 could provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business, such as selling home-grown vegetables.
Together we can make a lasting difference. THANK YOU for your support!

Congratulations! This activity has reached its target!
It has been a fantastic month for activity, and so many individuals, young and old, have put themselves through ALOT of physical effort - swimming, walking, cycling and running; all inspired and encouraged by our wonderful SPONSORS!
A huge THANK YOU to ALL who have contributed in any way. Together we have been able to hit our target and add much needed funds for the work of Christian Aid with the very poorest and most in need.
See you next year!!
To the top of the (Roseberry) Topping in fact! They were blessed with sunny (if blowey) weather and did a great job in getting out the word on Christian Aid!
Big congratulations to Nigel, who has outpaced his target of 300,000 steps in May to a grand total of 355,017!
That's approx 4 x 70k in the bag!
Journey's End for Mark
A second soaking on the Journey into Romanby from Harrogate. 588/581 miles complete, 26 days, 19 rides (20-62 miles), no punctures and one trip to the bike shop.
Red campion and buttercups complement the cow parsley in the North Yorkshire lanes. The hard miles of the first two weeks in May have permitted rain dodging over the last week and a week to spare
An extra challenge! JC group from Northallerton Methodist Church will be running/walking/striding up Roseberry Topping, at the end of week 4 - a final flourish for our efforts!
Team St James - Sheila, Liz and Lou have all completed their 70K in May Walking Challenge, and continue walking!
Mark and his bike have ticked off 525 miles of the distance from Lands End to Romanby - only 55 to go!
Applegarth have added 72 K cycle, 130 lengths swim, 15 miles walk and 5 mile run to their efforts this week. Well done Team Applegarth.
AND Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we have been able to raise our target to £4000 - we are not stopping!
