DRD’s Great Big Skate Challenge
This year our skaters have voted to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance Service for our annual charity skate challenge.
We will be skating collectively the distance from John O’Groats to Lands End which is just over 600 miles (as the crow flies)! Over the next few months, members of our team will be out and about racking up miles on their skates until we reach our target.
The Great North Air Ambulance Service operates three helicopter air ambulances across the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. They are 100% reliant on donations.
If you’re able to, please consider making a donation via our Go Fund Me page below, and stay tuned to see our progress.
