The firing pistol has sounded in Greg Mulholland MPs charity challenge. The MP will be joined by Otley and Yeadon Councillor Ryk Downes and Leeds Met's Martin Rivett in a 126 mile charity challenge - to do a marathon and a 100 mile walk in the space of a month.
The three are raising money for three local charities - Kidz in Kampz which is based in Holt Park and helps children who live in camps on the Thai/Burmese border, Wheatfield Hospice in Headingley and the Wharfedale Hospital Special Equipment Fund.
Greg said;
"The challenge is certainly going to be tiring but I am really looking forward to it. I hope we can raise a good deal of money for these three excellent local charities, they make a real difference in their field and need all the support they can get."
Councillor Ryk Downes added;
"Sponsoring us is very easy. You can do it online at www.126milechallenge.co.uk by using paypal, or you can send a cheque made payable to 126 mile challenge to 126 mile challenge, 12 Holt Park Centre, Leeds, LS16 7SR."
