Sixteenth of 40 donations

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

The sixteenth of my 40 donations goes to the Lancashire Wildlife Trust who play a very important part in protecting England’s natural heritage by protecting wildlife and nature reserves across the North West of England.

The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside was founded in 1962 by people like me who knew they needed to take action.

You can read more about the excellent work they do on the following link:

Thank you for kindly donating to The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.

For the last 50 years we have been caring for wild spaces and species all across our region.

Your kindness will be carefully invested so that we can continue to preserve wild spaces all across our region, protecting vital habitats for wildlife and educating people about the importance of our natural heritage.

From the highest crag where peregrines soar and butterflies flutter, to our endangered sand dunes where the land meets our living seas, this gift has helped us to protect our natural world.

Thank you so much for helping to protect wildlife for the future.

Best wishes,

Sarah Parkinson

Supporter Relations Officer

Damn Corona virus… I now find myself in mandatory self-isolation after a flight back from the United Kingdom almost 2 weeks ago.

Clearly I need to adapt my training to suit this unusual and unexpected set of circumstances but with the threat of events being cancelled, it’s casting a blanket of uncertainty over my current schedule.

For example, the Manchester Marathon has just been postponed, most likely to later this year…

Ironman have written to me stating that they expect ‘substantial and widespread event postponements in the coming weeks and months’ so i can only hope that this blows over well before August!

….and the flights I’ve already booked are now at risk, for example:

I remember a motivational quote that said ‘it’s not the strongest that survive, it’s the most adaptable to change’ so this pandemic and our response to it is going to be a good test of that maxim.

Good luck, everyone….
