We are a team of four Abelsons who have temporarily adopted Jamie Shuell for the purposes of this charitable adventure (he’s adjusting well).
Our ages range from 19 to 50+ (plus VAT), and while we like to think we’re reasonably fit, voluntarily climbing hills for fun is very much outside our comfort zone.
The challenge involves conquering six Ullswater peaks, ranging from 388m to 674m, across 25km and over 900m of elevation—so plenty of opportunities for us to question our life choices.
For those that don’t know, The Fed is a social care charity based in Manchester who provides practical help and care, such as:
- Giving advice and support to people in difficult situations.
- Helping people with mental health, money problems, or housing issues.
- Supporting people at home so they can live independently.
- Offering activities and befriending to reduce loneliness.
- Helping children and families with extra needs or challenges.
- Heathlands Village care home, which offers independent living, residential, nursing, dementia and end of life care.
The Fed supports a wide range of people including
- Older people (especially those who are frail or need care).
- Children and families; People who are lonely, ill, or disabled.
- People dealing with poverty, mental health issues, or abuse.
- Carers who look after others.
We’d be incredibly grateful for any support or donations to help raise funds for the amazing work of The Fed.
Thank you so much
