Peter Kane's 630 mile journey - Bolton News report

Hi all

Peter Kane one of our coaches and longstanding club member is doing a multi-event challenge this year to raise money for the Salvation Army's work for homeless people  in memory of his brother Patrick who died 10 years ago. Patrick was helped by the Salvation Army after he left the forces, suffered with addiction and became homeless.

An article that was in the Bolton News last week is attached.
