Story

Sue was in our group of ‘Swans’ (too old to be hens, too classy to be chicks!) who escaped to the beach most years for sunshine, food, drinks, chats, dancing, silliness and lots of laughing. Sue was our funny, caring, enthusiastic, generous, clever, daft, energetic, stubborn, professional, larger than life, one-of-a-kind ‘Sporty Swan’ and we (along with so many others) miss her every day since her sudden passing last year. When you were with Sue, everything was Ab-so-lutely HILARIOUS!

So we’ve decided to take on a challenge in honour of our special friend. As a group we pledge to walk at least a 1000 miles before meeting up in April at Sue’s bench by the Caldbeck duck pond for a DPM (Duck Pond Moment).

And we’d also like to raise some money to donate in Sue’s name to the Youth Sports Trust - a charity improving every young person’s education and development through sport and play. A sports charity for our sporty friend. 

We’re walking a thousand miles so how about a target of £1000? It’ll be challenging!
