Story

Steve Burne was diagnosed with cancer in May 2017 which has since spread and become terminal in October. Time is precious.

For over 15 years, Steve has been involved with Ronald McDonald House Charities, for the past five years as Chair of the Manchester House Board of Governors. Steve has a passion for keeping families together, close to their children in hospital.

In Steve's words....'Although devastated by the cancer prognosis this year, I am lucky to be here having survived several cardiac arrests in October. My time is limited and I want to work hard to leave a lasting legacy, something that will have an impact for many years to come. So along with friends and family we are hoping to raise £250,000 for Ronald McDonald House, Manchester so we can help keep families together, close to their children in hospital.

To support Steve, on Thursday 26th April, Glenbrook and Moorfield will be walking the Yorkshire three peaks challenge to help raise money for the #SteveBurneRooms . 

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. In total the walk is around 24.5 miles.
