Walk for Pounds was 19 mile walk from Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s airbase at Nostell Air Support Unit in Wakefield to the John Smith’s Stadium in Huddersfield.
The half way check point was at Thornhill Dental where we provided hot drinks and snacks for the 200 walkers.
Representing Team TD during walk for pounds was Andy W, Katie, Jenny, James, Johnny, Meg, Nic, Donna, Liz, Dave and Harriet with assistance at the half way check point by Andy, Graeme and Julie.
We were joined on the walk by some notable faces including Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean Hoyle, his wife Janet and family, Huddersfield Town Commercial Director, Sean Jarvis and Huddersfield Town legend, Andy Booth!
The event raised money for The Huddersfield Town Foundation’s ‘Keep It Up’ campaign which maintains the YAA’s two lifesaving helicopters as well as assisting the HTAFC Academy.
Team TD raised over £1,100 for through sponsorship. A huge thank you to everybody for their messages of support, their sponsorship and most importantly all of the walkers who took part in the hugely successful event. We’re told the blisters and sore legs were totally worth it!
