About

Through Hexham Youth Initiative and the RANK foundation my friend has been working on trying to revamp the outdated skatepark in Hexham. At the start of lockdown she started rollerblading with friends that had already been using the park for years and until she started going myself she never realised the state in which the park was in. Since then she have gotten to know so many other people that use the park and now we have a skatepark committee! There are so many talented riders and newbies that would benefit immensely from this revamp and she has being doing everything in her power to make sure it happens. Skateparks bring all different year groups together whether that be an older skater giving a younger skater advice or just a cheer from your friends who know you've been trying to get that trick for hours. It's also a great place to just forget about everything else going on in the world and just solely concentrate on yourself, which is what we need sometimes. So, a long with some fellow skaters I will be doing a mud run to raise money for the REVAMP. There will hopefully be photographic and video evidence of me doing this so if you do choose to donate, I don't think you'll regret it! Anything will be appreciated even just a share!
