7th August 2010: Teresa and Richard complete their walk! Hot off the press! Teresa and Richard Griffiths, daughter and son of villager Betty Griffiths and the late Jim Griffiths, yesterday completed their walk of the "Coast to Coast Walk" raising money for the Help for Heroes fund. First pass is about £1,000 has been raised.

Its easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to our Justgiving http://www.justgiving.com/brotherandsisterchallenge: Justgiving sends your donation directly to Help for Heroes and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK tax payer, so a donation is worth even more.
