I have again decided to take part in the Cheltenham Circular Challenge, a 26 mile walk around Cheltenham organised by the Rotary Club of Cheltenham Cleeve Vale.
Last year, and with your support, I was proud to have completed the walk raising hundreds of pounds for The Butterfly Garden. Having seen what a difference that sort of money can make to them, I have again chosen to walk for them. I hope you will be able to support me.
Here’s what they say about their Charity…
“Children & students with learning difficulties, or those with behavioural problems, can learn through acquiring gardening & land skills. Set in a quarter of an acre of land, the Butterfly Garden boasts a vegetable plot, raised beds (for easy cultivation), a polythene tunnel and an area of lawn enclosed by flower and shrub borders. A large pond and wildlife area compliment the space. The garden is serviced by a network of wide tarmac paths. A barbeque and patio, a wild bird feeding station together with a domestic chicken pen add further diversity to the provision.
”To offer greater flexibility the garden boasts two classroom spaces. One is a traditional thirty seater classroom and is equipped to offer a teaching space in rough weather (and it is hoped will eventually support art, craft and drama as well as gardening). The other is in the form of an open highly shaded pergola and will guarantee generous and safe working accommodation through hot weather. 150 square metres of commercial greenhouse have also been adopted for plant raising in which we teach gardening skills.
”The Butterfly Garden is located in Cheltenham.”

I would be very grateful if you would please sponsor me to complete the walk. My target it to complete it in a quicker time - I did it in 7 hours 36 mins last year - and of course to raise even more money than last time!
Many thanks,
Chris Coleman
