Story
Our cricket clubs chosen charity is the WiSH Charity which enhances the care patients at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust receive. This comprises of; West Suffolk Hospital, Newmarket Community Hospital and community services in Suffolk.We fundraise for all wards, depts and services. We support everything from emergency to the elderly, bones to babies, and cataract to cancer care. You donate to the area closest to your heart.With a population of more than 280,000 people, raising money to enhance the care our community receives is vital, and that's why we need your help.
In light of very little if any cricket during this 2020 season due to COVID 19 a few members have helped me to help set up this challenge which will test the fitness levels of many. Its a little bit of fun along the way but will keep us all somehow together working for something good. From the 1st May until the 30th June we have to run / walk or cycle 2020 miles recording the data using the Strava App and posting a picture on the clubs social media pages. Its a little over 33 miles per day but with a little focus and drive we've got this. Or if you want to do a little road trip its the equivalent round trip visit to Bratislava in Slovakia.
As per Government guidelines regarding social distancing and only exercising with members from your immediate household only all members will continue to follow these measures.
Good luck to all and see you all at the finishing line.

Long Melford Cricket Club Chairman
