Just back from visiting Harry,he's already talking about going up the Mourne's & his next day out kayaking,he'll be in hospital for the next few weeks anyway & will need treatment for some time.Harry's wife has expressed to me how grateful they are to the Ulster's ICU for all the treatment Harry received & that she would like to do something for the unit,maybe a charity walk?Does anybody on the forum have any experience about these events,basically i'am looking for people to help me organise this walk.
                                                     Issue's to discuss would be legal advice,local council involvement,pr,advertising.Anybody willing to help me in any way,even to act as a Stewart on the day please contact me

I'd love to do something like that, wouldnt know about legal advice etc but I'm sure if you needed I could knock up a poster or Facebook page to help advertise this.

Cheer's guy's,need all the help i can get,really good idea about the facebook page Oisin.I've taken part in charity walks before,normally they're during the summer month's with slieve Donard being the normal choice,but as we are in the grip of winter i need to consider other routes that carry less risks to novice walkers.After a brief online search i've discovered some helpful tips about such events;

1.Local council need to be informed
2.M.M.R,PSNI also need to be aware of large number s of people intending to venture into the hills
3.sponsors sheets should include a disclaimer and fit for walk section
4.Marshals are requirred along the route,together with an inventory of any walkers taking part
5.involve as much attention as you can,ie press,tv
6.the question of insurance
7.thinking that as harry had weil's, we could with involve the British Canoe Union
8.also consider involving a sponsor on the day ,ie red bull,coke

any ideas welcome

Are you meaning money goes towards the BCU/CANI?

Sponsors sounds good. Maybe local canoe shops or outdoor places etc or if some of the bigger names will would agree even better.  Do you Need insurance? I just see it as a scam, but i can understand that you may need it.

I am glad you are doing a bit of fund raising. I would of though if you want max exposure then you may want to plan it for the begining of next year around Feb/Mar?? Just my opinion

That was fast, no messing about with you.  ;)


I also agree with the short time period. It may still work, but the way I see it is that would it not be better gathering more money over a longer period of time?

Can also give people more time to plan in advance.

I will happily create a Facebook Page yeah. Firstly I think we should gather ideas on locations, ideas, objective?

Facebook page needs more details on event, ie; Start time, meeting point, where to get sponsorship forms, how long it may take to complete, and a general basic kit list might be good advice.
Im free that day and will volunteer my services if you need me.
