NORTHAMPTON: A team of walkers from Birchwood Price Tools (BPT) are aiming to complete the Lyke Wake Walk, crossing the North Yorkshire Moors in aid of Cancer Research UK and Together for Short Lives.

The 30 strong team will start their challenge at 10pm on Friday 15th June and complete the 42 mile route within 24 hours.

Many of the team at BPT, a part of the BSS Group, have had family and friends affected by cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, so these charities mean a great deal to them. The team are aiming to raise as much money as possible so every donation received, no matter how small, will help to ensure that these noble charities continue to support thousands of families.

Paul Nieduszynski, managing director at BPT said that “it’s going to be a huge challenge both physically and mentally. But with the help and support of the team, along with the generosity of our sponsors, we’re determined to raise awareness and money for these commendable charities”.
