As you may be aware PPS’s Operations Director Andy Flynn will be taking a journey across to China with fellow volunteers to tackle the Great Wall of China.
Training hard Andy
has been preparing physically and mentally for what lies ahead in China. Whilst
he is physically active being involved in the air cadets and taking part in
numerous Duke of Edinburgh awards, preparation will be key. Walking in humid
heats with no toilet facilities on the wall the hike will be no casual stroll.
However it is
important to be aware of the reasons behind such a big excursion. Andy will be
raising money for the Boparan Charitable Trust who support children with disabilities,
life-limiting conditions or are in extreme poverty. Last month PPS Midlands
had the pleasure of presenting Liam Hallet who suffers with
autism, a specialist trike to help him keep active.
Liam has
trouble speaking and with his movement due to autism, the specially designed
trike will give him the opportunity to interact with other children and play
outside as well as strengthening his limbs.
The BoparanCharitable Trust provide such aid to children on a daily basis, this makes the gruelling
trek along the Great Wall of China so important, to raise money to fund such
aid. Andy will also be
placing a commemorative brick on the wall in Liams name.
