Jieed for clean water, both here ,


Donations continue to roll in


but at the last count, more than p5,000 had been raised, which


rill be split equally between the no charities. The Ribble Trust's share will


iS r


pllow them to reduce the amount bf pollution entering our riv­ ers arid help prepare rivers and aquatic wildlife for issues that


jnay arise from future climate change.


In the North West arid around the "world.


RURALLIFE WaterAid's share will q0


towards their'To Be A Girl'cam­ paign, helping them reach even '


more brave, strong, incredible girls with clean, safe water, trans­ forming their lives - and their futures-forever.


And for every pound donated to WaterAid this'summer, the UK


Government will donate another, doubling the impact of fund-


raising activities. Jack said "The Walk for Water


was one ofthe most difficult challenges I've ever faced. The


weather was against us, the Met Office even issued a weather


warning for heavy rain. But we had an excellent support team who kept us in good spirits, giv­ ing us food, hot drinks and diy clothes. It was an amazing feeling


D°uufCh the.source °fthe River Ribble and we never expected to


raise £5,000; the level of support was overwhelming".


Mark said: "The training regime


we undertook this year to prepare for the walk has really whipped


us both into shape, the chal­ lenge now is to keep it up! I'm so pleased we've managed to raise so much money for two admi­ rable charities, it's made all our hard efforts worthwhile." Donations are still being


accepted and can be made online at http://


uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/ Ribble or by texting RWAY26 £15


(or whatever amount you wish to donate) to 70070.
