On the homeward stretch
The Mayor of Belper, Gary Spendlove, transplant games gold medallist, Simon Elmore and Ashley Spendlove, along with 40 other people completed their ‘Epic 100 mile Walk for Life’ in Belper, Derbyshire on 4th February 2017. The walk took place around Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire to raise awareness of organ donations, organ transplants and the importance of carrying donor cards.
Gary said “We were overwhelmed by the tremendous support of the local schools, hospitals, fire stations and police stations along the way. Hearing the many stories from people with first-hand experience was such an eye opener.” Although fund raising was not the priority over £2,500 has been raised so far for four worthy causes.
