Post subject:  Hull to Widnes Charity Walk - Calling in at The Shay!
I'm currently planning a charity walk from Hull to Widnes. Yes, I know its been done, but so has the london marathon and Everest, but not by me!!!

I'm doing it for 4 charities;
The RL Benevolent Fund
Mental Health Foundation
National Autistic Society
Benguema High School in Freetown Sierra Leone for whom the school I work for (Stretford High School) has a partnership to sustain their regeneration after the civil war. The money raised will go towards the refurbishment of classrooms at the school

The target is £4000 - £1000 for each cause.

Along the way Im taking pictures to make a book capturing the spirit of RL communities. This will be sold to support the effort. I hope to capture the essential feel of what a traditional rugby league town is all about.

I'm starting at the Hull v Wigan game on Friday July 29th, finishing at Widnes v Leigh on the 7th August. The route will be; Hull FC to Castleford Tigers, to Leeds Rhinos, to Bradford Bulls, to Halifax, to Oldham, to Salford Reds, to Warrington Wolves, to Widnes Vikings.

Anyone who wants to walk part of the way with me just come along!!!! There is a charity donation page that can be found here;
http://www.charitygiving.co.uk/hulltowidneswalk

and the facebook group can be found here;

If this is made sticky I can update news as I find it. Post on the thread or PM me with any questions, ideas and suggestions.

Thank you
Tony Fretwell

If you bring it to our attention around the beginning of July, we will make it a sticky for you.

Good luck!

I thought I recognised the name, but couldn't quite remember from where. That is, if it is the same fella we're thinking of.

Yep! Its me! Thank you! Loved my time at Fax and probably would still be there now if I hadn't been made redundant when the backside fell out of the club. Sad times. Great to see how it is now though. I went to Widnes for 3 seasons and did my PGCE and became a teacher. Been doing it for 7 years now and Im Head of PE at Stretford High. Looking forward to seeing old friends at fax on the walk! Cheers and good luck for 2011! Make it back to back titles!

No he is a bell of the highest order.

Although I do look forward to stepping out with him on this little adventure for a leg.
