RICHARD BURT TAKES UP MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE AGAIN

West Worcestershire’s Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate, Richard Burt will be taking part in Severn Trent’s Annual Mountain Challenge in support of WaterAid again this year.

Mr Burt, who was a member of the winning team twelve months ago, will be trekking 21 miles across the Dark Peak district in Derbyshire to raise money for the charity.

Last year team members raised over £600 to help provide safe water and sanitation for some of the poorest people on the planet.

Mr Burt, who is a former marathon and fell running champion said:

“It’s just great to spend a day on the mountains as a way of giving families the basic facilities that we take for granted in this country. Readers can sponsor me online by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/richardburt “
