The K2B Walk.
Imagine a 42 mile sponsored walk! Then imagine a group of enterprising youngsters aged under 17 taking part to raise money for dystonia! In May 2009 a brave party of 8 youngsters took part in the Keswick to Barrow (K2B) walk to raise a total of £4,400 in sponsorship. The team won the MSF cup in recognition for the most sponsorship raised by a youth team.
