A huge foot stepping, path treading thankyou to Kev, his dog Rosie, and sister-in-law Bev, one of our fantastic volunteers at our Mansfield Woodhouse Shop, for not only completing Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance’s (LNAA) 6k A Day in May challenge, but smashing it by walking on average, 11km a day. Their efforts raised over £700.

The duo decided to take up the challenge after being inspired by the fundraising efforts of Shop Manager, Jennie Cooper and her team of volunteers who keep the shop open and serving the community.

Kev said: “Jennie and her fantastic team deserve a big medal for fundraising to keep the helicopter flying. Every member of her team including each volunteer are worth their weight in gold.

Some days were easier than others, especially the bad weather on some days which meant they completed the distance by walking around the home and garden.

Jennie showed her appreciation and said: “Bev is a fantastic volunteer at the Mansfield Woodhouse shop, and we love seeing Kev when he calls in. We are so incredibly proud of both, and Rosie of course, for taking on the 6k a day challenge and completely smashing their target. Thank you so much for all your support!”
