Our 82 year old Chairman, Philip Lord, is taking part in his very own walking challenge!

Each day (except from Sundays when he does it twice!) Philip is walking from his home and completing a 4.7 mile circuit of the area, known as The Ring of Whitewell. Philip will shortly be reaching his initial target of 100 miles, but he hopes to carry on this daily walk well into the future.

Alongside his four-legged friend Freddie, Philip is hoping to raise enough money to cover the tens of thousands of pounds of extra costs the Ribble Rivers Trust has incurred as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Your kind donations help Ribble Rivers Trust to conserve and improve the River Ribble, and the rivers across Lancashire and North Yorkshire that flow into it, for wildlife, for people, and for the future generations.

If you have been inspired by Philip, you can undertake your own challenge and you can help to raise money for the Ribble Rivers Trust at the same time. Using this link facebook.com/fund/RibbleTrust you can set up your own Ribble Rivers Trust Facebook charity fundraiser and get your friends and family to sponsor a challenge of your very own!
