MAGGIE CONQUERS THE WAINWRIGHTS IN AID OF HOSPICE Local woman Maggie Freestone recently completed a personal challenge to climb the 214 Wainwrights in the Lake District and in so doing has raised £1,810 for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. The Wainwrights are the 214 English peaks described in Alfred Wainwright's seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells (1955–66). Some of them, notably Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Helvellyn (via Striding Edge) are rugged mountains above 900 metres and require strenuous walking to reach their summits. Maggie said 'at 69 years of age this was a real challenge for me. I walked in all weathers and often in poor visibility. The weather in the Lake District can change quickly and you have to be ready for anything!. I am pleased to have raised so much money for Bluebell Wood and grateful to all those who have
supported and sponsored me. Many thanks also to Penistone Folk Ensemble and supporters of Greenmoor Carollers for their donations.' Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice cares for babies, children and young people with a range of lifelimiting conditions. Sibling support is also at the heart of their work, as well as counselling and bereavement support services for families. Their support services are wide ranging and bespoke to each family; including overnight care, music therapy, counselling, sibling support groups, home visits and much more. Paul Hawkins, Regional Fundraiser at Bluebell Wood said, “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Maggie for taking on this incredible challenge and raising a fantastic amount for Bluebell Wood. Every penny she has raised helps us continue to support the families who need us.”
