In a few short days, local businessman and Nantwich Town FC supporter David Smyth will take his first of many steps on a 192-mile Coast to Coast walk all in aid of the Crewe and Nantwich Cancer Research branch.
David, joined by his two friends, will be taking on the challenge over the course of the next two weeks, starting in St Bees, Cumbria, the walk will see David traverse through three national parks, taking in the Lake District, Pennines, and North York Moors, before finishing in Robin Hood’s Bay, North Yorkshire.
David, who is one of the directors at Crewe-based car dealer group, Swansway Motor Group, has received an overwhelming amount of support so far. Initially setting his fundraising target at £1,000, David has received a generous number of donations, putting him at over £3,000 before the challenge starts.
Astonished by the kindness of those who have donated, David is now keen to raise as much money as possible. Crewe and Nantwich Cancer Research Representative Margaret Grindrod commented;
“As a committee, we are delighted to see David going to so much effort to raise money for Cancer Research. We are extremely grateful to him for taking on this challenge as we know how important the money raised is to so many people.”
Swansway Motor Group would like to wish David the best of luck on his challenge and can’t wait to hear all about it. If you would like to find out more David Smyth’s Coast to Coast challenge, you can do so here.
“This is a fantastic initiative that David is undertaking” said Dabbers Chairman Jon Gold “and one that as a club we are very proud to support. Unfortunately most people have been touched and effected by this dreadful disease at some point in their lives and the great advances that are being made are helped immensely by these unique and selfless initiatives and as David and his son George are so well known to everybody at Nantwich Town, through their incredible sponsorship and support, I would urge everyone to get behind David and his mammoth effort”.
