Calder Vale resident Russell, who recently celebrated his 91st birthday, is to walk 910 miles to raise funds for the Calder Vale Recreation Ground Charity and to help save the Mill's lodge bank from collapsing! Russell's son and Chair of the Calder Vale Recreation Ground Charity has set up a Just Giving fundraising page to help his dad raise the funds and the following is the link
