The Manchester 20 Mile Walk

A special thank you to Peter, Ian and Tony who walked 20 miles for the Myotubular Trust!

 

 

On 4th July 2009, Peter Ryan, whose 19 month old son Aaron has myotubular myopathy, completed a Manchester 20mile walk with Aaron's grandad, Ian Caddick and Aaron's carer, Tony Crook.

Peter planned a route that took them through some of the beautiful landscape of Manchester, starting at Peace Hall in Halifax and finishing at Oldham Town Hall , via Saddleworth Moor, Ripponden and Sowerby Bridge. In all, they walked for 8 hours and 15 minutes in sunshine!

Peter, Ian and Tony managed to restrain themselves from entering any pubs en route but decided to treat themselves to a well deserved pint when they arrived in Oldham; but what a disappointment to arrive in a pub that had no lager! Thank you so much Peter, Ian and Tony; we're so glad you eventually found the best pint you've had in a long while to complete your day's activities.
