In September I will be walking the Great Wall of China with my daughter Hannah. We are raising funds for CHUMS, a charity that my daughter is working with. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chumsinchina
We believe very strongly in all the amazing work that CHUMS do for children and young people across Bedfordshire, Luton, Cambridge and Peterborough and are proud to be representing this wonderful organisation on one of the great wonders of the world. CHUMS - Children and Young People’s Mental Health Service. CHUMS hopes to provide mental health and emotional wellbeing support to as many children and young people across Bedfordshire as we can. Friends of CHUMS currently funds 5 services which include the Bedfordshire Suicide Bereavement Service, Babyloss Service and Recreational Therapeutic Service. Without support from fundraisers and donors CHUMS would not be able to provide support to the children, young people and families who otherwise may not receive help when they need it most. Hannah’s message: “As many of you will know, us Rileys love an adventure. Hannah is a keen traveller and Warwick is an experienced hill walker - he’s been dragging us up hills, mountains and Munros since the day we could stand! So we are very excited to be given such an amazing opportunity to have an incredible adventure whilst raising money for a brilliant cause. However, we didn’t quite realise the challenge we were signing up for when we first agreed to take on The Wall. Having since googled it, there appears to be a severe lack of flat wall, that we wrongly imagined, and in its place over 21,000 km* of grossly steep staircases. We are now slightly terrified. BUT! This will not deter us! We will be spending 10 days covering as much ground as possible“ If you would like to support us please do so via out just giving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chumsinchina 100% of all money donated goes directly to CHUMS charity as we are separately self-funding the trip ourselves. Many thanks for your time Warwick and Hannah Riley
