Infinite Explorers Coast to Coast Challenge
In July this year my two sons, Luke Moseley a former student,
and Aidan Moseley a current student will be undertaking a
192-mile walk, which is defined as the Coast-to-Coast Walk
which starts in St Bees in Cumbria and will finish in Robin
Hoods Bay. With the possibility of also doing the extra few
miles and walking all the way to Scarborough! They will be
doing with the aim of raising £1000 for Arthritis Research
which is leading the fight against arthritis. More than 1 in 6
people are affected by arthritis and it is the biggest cause of
pain and disability in the UK.
It would great if you would consider donating on
www.justgiving.com/lukemoseley and help them meet their
target. We are also holding a Yard Sale on 30 May from 10am
at 38 Raleigh St to get them started.
You can follow their progress on:
