The parents of a teenager helped by me&dee are preparing to take on an epic walking challenge in aid of the charity, which helps families facing short and uncertain futures. Jonny Cooper and Lauren Mabb are set to embark on ‘100 Miles for Memories’, which will see them walk 100 miles around the Anglesey coastline in just four days. The couple aim to complete the challenge in just four days, setting off on 25 April. me&dee helps families where a potentially life-limiting and often rare illness is diagnosed by providing everything from private group swimming sessions and unique tailor-made outings for families to support for siblings through craft sessions and a specialist bereavement support group. Since its start, the charity, which was recently presented with a King’s Award for Voluntary Service, has supported more than 9,000 families. Among them is Jonny and Lauren’s family – and now, the couple want to give something back. In a statement, they said: “When we first met the me&dee team three years ago, we had no idea just how much they would change our lives. “What they’ve given us since then is more than holidays or days out – they’ve given us memories we never thought we’d be able to make as a family. “Thanks to me&dee, we’ve enjoyed two fully accessible, stress‑free holidays where, for once, everything felt easy. “We’ve had countless family days out that allowed us to simply enjoy being together, without the usual barriers or worries. “Every time, we were welcomed with warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of care. They didn’t just support us – they made us feel like part of their family. “And that’s exactly what they’ve become to us.

SK33580 24118Post code DE65 6EG From the car park we will be circumnavigating the reservoir where we will have the opportunity to see some fantastic views. Around 90% of the walk is on well established pathways which are mostly dry. Perhaps three areas where boots will get muddy, and a few slight hills which can be slippery underfoot. Mostly gates connect the fields, thankfully no cows, just horses, and 5 stiles, but overall easy to overcome. In total it’s around 6.8 miles (11km) We’d love to see you there, lunch is sandwiches at the al fresco, so bring a flask and some sarnies.

The Manifold Way (also known as the Manifold Track) is a favourite for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It follows the route of the disused Leek and Manifold Light Railway, through the Manifold and Hamps Valleys from Hulmes End to Waterhouses. The track is surfaced and fairly level throughout its length, making it ideal for wheelchair users, those with buggies or prams and people with limited mobility. Watch out for the rivers of the Manifold and Hamps as they disappear beneath the porous limestone and reappear in Ilam Country Park. Climb the steps to Thor’s Cave (250 ft above the track) for magnificent views across the valley. There are Car Parking areas at both ends of the track and at Intermediate locations. Cycles can be hired at Hulme End where there are picnic tables, cycle racks and fully accessible toilets. The full Mainfold Way runs for 8 miles, but a short 2 mile accessible walk includes the disappearing stream and Thor’s Cave is a great family friendly option.
