50 Stepping Out for NWAA A keen walker has pledged to raise funds for the North West Air Ambulance by completing 80 North West walking routes. The popular Jack’s Tracks walks have been published in Local Life magazine for the past ten years and Michelle Bradshaw, the owner of Wrinkles Out Ironing Service in Wigan, has pledged to do the entire set of walks by the end of October 2021. Local Life met with Michelle Bradshaw, along with husband Dave, at Orrell Water Park where she was introduced to Jack, the Border Collie who inspired our series of walks, Jack’s Tracks. And as you can see from the newspaper clipping, it’s not the first time that Michelle Bradshaw, who is originally from Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, has pulled on her walking boots to raise money for charity. In 1968, aged just 3½, she once walked 19 miles with her dad to raise money for the homeless. The efforts of the emergency services during the pandemic have been the inspiration behind Michelle’s decision to take on the challenge, as she explains, “All the emergency services have been amazing during the past year, but because the North West Air Ambulance receives no central funding, I decided to try and raise £500 for them”. Jennifer Berry, the Regional Fundraiser for NWAA applauded Michelle’s efforts, “We are delighted that Michelle and others like her take on challenges to raise money for us here at North West Air Ambulance Charity. It is thanks to supporters like this that we are able to raise the £9.5 million we need each year to operate our life-saving service. We wish Michelle the best of luck and hope that she has inspired other Local Life readers to take on challenges for us! For more information about North West Air Ambulance, please visit our website www.nwaa.net.” Michelle aims to do two or three walks a week, accompanied by various members of her immediate family as and when restrictions ease. She admits that there is another motive to take on the walking challenge, “I really do want to get fit. I’ve recently lost some weight with Slimming World and I would like to lose some more and get toned up.” You can donate towards Michelle’s efforts to raise £500 North West Air Ambulance here; www.justgiving.com/fundraising/catherine-bradshaw25 All Jack’s Tracks walks are available to download free from the Local Life website here; www.locallife247.co.uk/freestuff/
