Jacob's Ladder Challenge 2012

JUMP Children's Charity would like to thank all those who attended and completed our Jacob's Ladder Challenge, and to all those that sponsored the walkers. It turned out to be a fabulous day with the weather being very kind to us which was a good job with the ever changing terrain of the High Peak district.

It took the twenty walkers just over 5 hours to complete the 8.5 miles of the route that seems to get more and more challenging every year. Of the twenty walkers, five of them were children all who did really well and acted very responsibly during the walk that sometimes involved climbing over rocks, especially taking the route up towards Kinders Plateau. Also, traversing across the plateau proved really tough with the Peat Bogs at the top going through to Noe Stool and The Woolpacks rock formations. There were some spectacular views seen from there before heading round to descend Jacob's Ladder and finally heading back to Edale

After the walk was finished, we all managed to move our tired legs to the final destination, The Ramblers Inn at Edale for a well deserved drink sharing tales of the trek. Well done to everyone also for making it a safe walk by looking out for and helping each other throughout the trek.

Party in the Park 2012

JUMP Children's Charity held it's first Party in the Park on Saturday 28th July at Risley Moss Nature Reserve. JUMP invited 15 children and their families to the party, and they were treated to a wonderful time in the park and woods of Risley Moss which included Punch & Judy show, Children's Entertainer Zippy and giant Wii and Xbox Kinect games. Also during the day the children and their family had a photo-shoot with our JUMP photographers and then enjoyed a Treasure Trail with the Risley Moss Park Ranger and then came face to face with Lizards, Snakes, a Skunk and Norman the Raccoon from the Home Safari team.

The day was made possible from the generous donation from Warrington Freemasons after the Sportsman's Dinner with Former Welterweight Champion Boxer John H Stracey, they held back in February. We were very glad to welcome a few of the Warrington Freemason team along to the Party in the Park so they could see first hand how the money they raised for JUMP Children's Charity was used and how it benefited the children and their families.

JUMP Children's Charity would like to thank everyone who helped make the day possible, from organising to all the volunteers who were there to help make the children's party in the park a truly special one.

If you would be interested in sponsoring this event for next year, or any other event for JUMP Children's Charity then please contact us
