Mick Beedle would like to thank all those who have generously helped and sponsored his daughters, Abbey & Stacey,
£150 has been raised by Whitby Sea Anglers Association.  Unfortunately Abbey Corner (Mick Beedle's daughter) could not make the trip as she found out she was pregnant, so family member Beth Sanderson will be taking her place.

Thank you.

If any members have a suggestion Mick is hoping to link the Christmas Match weigh-in total to help raise funds for Abbey & Stacey.

Our Story.......

My sister (Abbey Corner) and myself (Stacey Shelley) started this Journey in February 2013. We heard about a charity trek hosted by Capital FM's Help A Capital Child Charity. The trek is 40 miles through the Grand Canyon over 6 days, beginning at 4500 feet at the rim of the crater descending to the base and back up again.

The charity helps support the teenage cancer trust as its a grant based charity it originally started 37 years ago in London but has since spread nationwide.

When we started this journey little did we know about fund raising and what it would involve, the highs and the lows of this journey as well as the people we have met and the stories we have heard have humbled us and touched our hearts, to the point where we have become completely different people.

You may of heard of Georgina Anderson from Marske who recently passed away from terminal liver cancer, she was one of our cousins good friends at the tender age of 14 she passed away.

We became involved with fund raising in her name, also to help the teenage cancer trust which is linked with the charity we decided to help. She was treated at the RVI in Newcastle that have a teenage cancer trust site. We never imagined how intertwined our fund raising and stories would become.

My sister (Abbey) runs a busy hairdressing salon in Guisborough and I am a trauma staff nurse at James Cook University Hospital and a mum of 2, even though we have such busy lifestyles we have managed to raise £5890.64 so far to reach our £7700 goal we need all the help we can get.

We have met some amazingly generous people and don't expect the earth but you can really make a difference to the lives of children and teenagers living with cancer daily even if it is just for a short while.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely

Stacey Shelley & Abbey Corner

40 mile trek across the Grand Canyon

Dear Peter

Just thought I would write you a little letter to say our thanks to you and Whitby Sea Anglers Association, I think I have included everything I needed to on the disc.  As a group of 38 people we have managed to raise over £161,000 and still climbing, which is amazing and shocked us all, which you all have kindly been a part of.  It has been decided the money we have raised is going towards supporting teenage cancer trust units across the UK and help fund specialist hospital units and care for teenagers and young people with cancer.  Aiming to give them the best survival and quality of life we can possibly provide . As a nurse myself I can first hand see how much anything costs in the NHS so the money we have raised will make a massive difference.  So finally thank you, I have included some notes below regarding the trek and what we did along the way

Day 1 

We arrived at the crater rim after a few days previously travelling which was an amazing sight.  You can see tiny dots looking down in the pictures they are horses which is how high we where.  We made our way down into the canyon, which at first starts really wide, however seems to get closer and smaller, all of a sudden you come to a massive opening which is a village with around 600 people in.  The village is inhabited by native Indians of the Supai tribe.  It’s the most remote village in America only accessible by horse back, trek or helicopter.  We continued to our camp grounds flowed by camp dogs which we seem to have gathered a few. Not too strenuous although aching a lot due to going down hill.  Covered approx 12 miles.

Day 2

We trekked to beaver falls and back rock climbing down a slippery waterfall 195 ft. Amazing we did various water crossings the pictures speak for themselves.  Covered approx 9 miles.

Day 3

We did another couple of water crossings and trekked up a different canyon, looking at the geological history of the rocks and collecting fossil samples.  We also were allowed to go into a cave that had been dug by gold miners looked tiny from the outside but was 8 levels once inside with a 70 ft shaft.  Once at the end of the cave the guides made us imagine what it would be like to be a miner in the 1800’s by turning all our lights off and remaining silent!  Covered approx 9 miles.

Day 4 
An early start, up at 4:30, to pack all the tents and gear away to go onto the mule train back to the top.  Breakfast and set off at 6:15 am, very strenuous uphill all the way, the first 3 miles where very steep then turned into a small incline for approx 7 miles.  The last 2 miles were up the switch backs to the top of the canyon going up 2200 ft in those last miles,  I couldn't stop as we had been walking for 7 hours climbing over rocks and on unsteady ground if we stopped my legs went into cramp so you just had to drive through.  I cried when I reached the top.
