Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Walking for Words

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored us. We walked from Greenwich to Ricmond and it turned out to be 26.5 miles, not counting all the extra wrong turns - it is much easier than you think to loose a large blue river. It was a fantastic walk through the heart of London ending up in leafy Richmond.

Thank you for all your supportive messages and donations we exceded our target of £2,000 with no blisters.

Sally, Debbie, Sue, Ann, Jo, Kathy, Francis and Moria for joining us.
