A Worthy Cause - an Introduction
Posted by Karen Thorne on 19/12/2009 11:04:26
As a business it's always difficult knowing which causes to support so I prefer to give privately. However I make the occasional exception. And as Christmas is a traditional time for giving I thought that I would use my Christmas week blog to tell you about a charitable event I first heard of on Twitter.
Strangely I was first drawn to this Twitter User by their avatar ( the little picture that represents the user ). The dog in the photograph is the spitting image ( well from behind anyway ) of our old much loved and much missed dog Tess. She was a rescue and obviously half German Shepherd, though we never knew what the other half was.
I then realised the name of this Twitter user was very relevant too! Here in Shropshire we are very close to Offa's Dyke; the Offa's Dyke Centre down at Knighton is a quick train or car journey away. My favourite walk is a circular on, probably the best preserved part of the Dyke, Llanfair Hill just past Clun. The views are spectacular.
Then I realised that the people concerned were walking Offa's Dyke to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. My Grandmother had and my Mum has MS, so again a cause close to my heart. I'm a great believer in serendipity!
I contacted Phil and Alex and asked if I could help them promote the walk so here are the details direct from them. Maybe if you've enjoyed a stay at Hopton House in the past or have enjoyed some of our recipes on our blog, you might think about donating to the challenge. Thank you.
