Residents at Gascoigne House in Middleton are fundraising by walking 60 miles for Motor Neurone Disease Association.
On Thursday 1 August, Yorkshire Day, the residents of Gascoigne House extra care housing started their challenge of collectively walking 60miles in August, for MND Association.
We couldn’t believe it when we saw a First Bus parked along our walk and saw the name on the side of the bus, Steve Welsh, who was a former bus driver who had MND and sadly passed away.
The residents will be continuing with their walks throughout August, so if you see a sea of blue walking the streets of Middleton, please say hello and donate any loose change you can to their bucket.

“Just amazing! You are all stars and Lee would be so proud of you all.”
And Susan Beal added:
“Well done to you all.”
