My Story

Hi there, welcome to my fundraising page… make yourself at home :-)

At the grand age of 75 I am taking part in my first ever Wing Walk along with Neil Paton. We will be taking to the skies on 24th of November at Leeds East Airfield.
We have decided to Wing Walk to raise money for MFR Cash for Kids.
Given my daredevil heroics, it would be great if you could donate whatever you can to help disadvantaged children in our local area.
I have set my target for £500 but I know all of you generous people will see me smash this target and raise a huge amount for this great cause.

Thanks to every one for your donations to support MFR Cash For Kids. Neil Paton of Robertson Construction and myself arrived at Leeds East Airfield on a blue sky, wind free Friday morning (24th November) to be told that our wing walk had been cancelled. High winds were expected after 1pm which was our wind walk time. We have had to reschedule our wing walks until the 24th of May 2024.
All donations are still going to MFR Cash for Kids and Elgin Refrigeration Services are covering all expenses for the two trips to Leeds.
Thank you all once again,
Gordon
