A1 raises £1524 for charity at Le Tour Yorkshire Event

11th July 2014

We’d like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who made our Le Tour Yorkshire event a huge success last week, raising a massive £1,524 for charity.

The money has been split between two local causes with £762 going to each one. The first is A Walk for Estelle – a grueling annual event where a team walk 127 miles along the Leeds & Liverpool canal to raise funds to help find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a condition which Estelle suffers.  The event ends tomorrow and anyone can join them as they head to the finishing line in Leeds. Or if you want to donate, you can do so here: http://www.justgiving.com/teams/awalkforestelle2014 

The other £762 went to Diane Sugden who is trekking the Himalayas in aid of Sue Ryder Manorlands hospice. She starts on 8 November.  There’s is more information on the event here  and if you wish to donate, please click here

Over 200 people joined us throughout the day to enjoy local band You Had Me At Hello, BBQ, bar, bouncy castle, face painting and a big slide. We had lots of pics posting on Facebook, but if you have some, send them in to headoffice@a1stairlifts.co.uk or post on our facebook here or @A1Stairlifts1 on Twitter.
