Charity run on the L&L Canal


David Turner and  Paul Willan are about to embark on their toughest challenge yet.  Running the Leeds to Liverpool Canal.  They will be running the canal in blocks of at least 26 miles over a 5 day period, starting off in Liverpool and over 4 weeks, running a marathon a week (2 in the first week) we will run to Leeds.  

Paul says "My charity is Derain House Childrens Hospice based in Chorley, Lancashire.  Derian house is currently building a new teenage wing to provide the much needed continuing care to older children.  The funds I raise will go to the running of the wing."  

"My cousins charity is Martin House which provides provides care and support, free of charge, to families in which there is a child or children with a short life expectancy. Its aim is to provide a home from home with a lively friendly atmosphere where children and their families can enjoy the best quality of life."
Please help them reach their target of over £1000 for these charities.
