Henshaws college students were joined by staff, volunteers and past pupils as they undertook the Nidderdale Walk on Sunday (15th May 2011). They completed four, seven, 15 and 22 mile stretches, showing that a visual impairment or other disability is no barrier to taking up the charity challenge!
Henshaws College students walked to raise funds for the sports, fitness and leisure department at the college. Phil Webster, Sports & Fitness Instructor said: “The Nidderdale Walk is an opportunity for students and service users to participate in an event they know will stretch their physical ability and, for students with no sight, to test their trust in the college staff and volunteers.
“The walk also offers the opportunity to participate in an event that is open to everyone and involves people from all walks of life. Henshaws participants really relish the opportunity to let their individual abilities shine through, in addition to raising funds for causes close to their heart.”
