Jump Up and Fire Walk!, Sunday 25th September 2011 at Old Down Country Park

A Thornbury mum is planning a Charity Fire Walk in aid of a charity called Jump Up.

JUMP UP is a charity dedicated to supporting children and young people with arthritis and related Rheumatic conditions in the South West of England and South Wales. JUMP UP is part of the Paediatric Rheumatology Service in the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.

This service provides a dedicated, specialist team to help children and their families through this difficult time, with information, advice and specialist care and treatment.

No child should have to suffer pain if there's a way to prevent it. Thanks to new medication, improved treatment and extensive research, the team at the hospital are making a real difference to our young patients' lives, helping them to live a happy and active childhood and to face adulthood with confidence.

Local mum & organiser of the fund raising event Lindsey Hall said "My son has suffered from arthritis since 18 months old. He has now just turned 6 and he and our family have received the best care, treatment and support possible by Bristol Children's Hospital Rheumatology Team. The Charity has recently re-launched and we are making every effort to give something back by taking part and organising fundraising events across the South West. I am looking for teams and individuals who wish to challenge themselves in taking part in this awesome experience and achieve what appears to be the impossible".

So 'Jump Up' and register to take part today! Registration is £25 deposit (Deductable from final sponsorship total if £175+ is raised.

Minimum sponsorship target £150). To Register please contact: Lindsey Hall and forward your name, address and contact telephone number via email to: lindseychall@hotmail.co.uk.
