Subject: BS: walk for Amos
Hiya,
       My youngest Grandchild Amos has recently had his 1st Birthday and a grand little chap he is, however he was born with a rare liver condition known as Billary Atresia and when he was 9 weeks old he had to undergo a 7hr operation to save his life. The operation was successful, however it is likely that he'll need to have a liver transplant, at some stage in the future, he also has to take medication on a daily basis and so has to visit the Children's Liver unit at Leeds General Infirmary regularly.

With this in mind Amos's parents, relatives and family friends are planning a series of fundraising activities over the coming weeks and the money raised will be split equally between the Children's Liver Disease Foundation to help with research and for ward 12 & the Children's Liver unit at Leeds General Infirmary.

My contribution to the fundraising is to walk the Dales way, which Starts in Ilkley and finishes in Bowness on Windermere in the lake District and then walk back, a total distance of 165 miles. I'll be doing it over 7 days between July 23rd & 29th. My itinerary is as follows;

July 23rd Ilkley to Kettlewell                         24 1/2 miles
July 24th Kettlewell to Dent                           27 miles
July 25th Dent to Burneside                           21 miles
July 26th Burneside to Burneside via Bowness 20 miles
July 27    Burneside to Dent                            21 miles
July 28th Dent to Kettlewell                            27 miles
July 29th   Kettlewell to Ilkley                           24 1/2 miles

So I would be grateful if you would Sponsor me, how much well I'll leave it to you, what ever you can manage will help.
