The event held on Sunday September 9, was organised to celebrate Phab's Golden Jubilee.

The aim of the charity is to encourage people with and without physical disabilities to come together on equal terms to achieve complete inclusion within the community.

The event was attended by PHAB members from many parts of the country who pushed, pulled, wheeled and walked a short circuit of the park to raise funds for their individual club.

They were entertained by Garforth Youth Band, The Irish Band, Whiskey in a Jar also East Steel. To add to the happy day there was face painting and Circus Skills.

Marshalling was competently done by Air Cadets from 208 Air Squadron, Oakwood with assistance from the Rotary Club of Roundhay and Garforth Lions.

The ribbon to start the event was cut by The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Brain Cleasby and Sir Jimmy Savile, who called in to salute Phab's 50 years.

The event was organised by Ann Hart who has supported and helped to raise large sums of money locally in support of Leeds PHAB members over many years.

The Phab Heartbeat Hikes began in 1978 when Sir Jimmy Savile, who at the time was President of National PHAB, said: "Everyone's got a heartbeat even if they cannot walk"
