Walk for Skin 2010

[Paul 0]

Hi

As you know last year I took part in the walk for skin in aid of the Ichthyosis Support Group and the British Skin Foundation, and with your generosity raised over £700.

Myself and my 2 kids were born with the very rare condition Ichthyosis which is very rare and for which there is no cure.  We don’t get as much publicity or funding for research as others so any little that I can do is a big help.

The walk is through the centre of London on Sunday 27th June.  

Anything no matter how small would be greatly received, you can donate through my just giving page http://www.justgiving.com/Paul-Handscombe or in cash.

Here are the links to the charities:  http://www.ichthyosis.org.uk and http://www.britishskinfoundation.org.uk/Events/WalkforSkin.aspx

Many thanks in advance

Paul, Harry and Charlotte.  OTBC!!

Morning

 

Just an update for you.  Thanks to your amazing generosity I have smashed my £750 target and am now up to £877 which is 117% of my target.

 

The walk is on Sunday and should be a scorching day.  The walk is around central London and Stars at St Thomas’ Hospital, crossing Westminster Bridge, go round Parliament Square, through Whitehall and the Horse Guards across the pretty flower beds of St James’ Park and end up at Buckingham Palace. From there I go past St James’s Palace and onto Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square before cruising through the streets of Soho and finishing at Fitzroy Square, which is where the British Skin Foundations head offices are.

 

I will take some snaps along the route and it should be a good day.

 

There is still time to donate and every little helps this underfunded, underpublicised condition.

Yeah it was baking, we started about half 10 but by midday it was about 32-33 degrees, still was worth it took some good pics and raised some money, feet are still killing but would have walked double the distance if I had too.

Thanks for your donation as well Matt, much appreciated.
