Mountain Rescue is  so much more than mountains, just as I am so much more than running. But putting my body through a gruelling off road night marathon after running a half marathon is my way of raising awareness and money for Kinder Mountain Rescue

Mountain Rescue team members are on call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They rescue climbers from crags, reunite lost walkers with their friends and ensured injured and sick casualties are transported to vital hospital care.

They find missing children and vulnerable adults, on and off the hills, whilst administering sympathetic support to their families. They search river banks and swift water, aiding swimmers and kayakers – and a few who clearly never intended to get wet.

And they rescue a frankly stunning number of dogs, cows, sheep and any number of other animals, from all manner of inaccessible places. All this whilst continuing to practise and hone their skills in first aid and casualty care, technical ropework, water rescue, search management, maintaining their bases, equipment and vehicles – not to mention taking time to maintain theirown fitness.

Oh, and did i mention they are all volunteers?

But they are reliant on donations from you, the public, to enable us carry on providing this service.

Please help them survive by sponsoring me to complete my task.
