Readers of our website may recall that on Tuesday 19th January 2010, we reported that a local Bolton lady in lieu of presents on her 60th Birthday very kindly requested that donations be made instead to the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team.

Today we are very pleased to have received a letter from Mrs Julie Steele the woman involved, enclosing a number of fantastic donations totalling a marvellous £385.00. (With obvious thanks to the very kind supportive generosity of her family, friends and colleagues in making such donations).

In her letter Julie kindly remarks, “I admire your dedication + bravery + as outdoor people, appreciate the wonderful work you do although I hope I’ll never have to call upon you!”

She went on to further kindly state, “I hope these donations will help swell the funds after a very busy winter for you so far, we all appreciate you.”
Many of the donations have been gift aided increasing the total doantion even further.

So Julie Happy 60th Birthday (even though its over a week late for us in saying it) and a huge thanks for kindly supporting us in this thoughtful way.
