Story
Walking Challenge raising money for Walking Cricket in Sussex!
As the charitable arm of Sussex Cricket, Sussex Cricket Foundation aim to change lives through the power of cricket! As a team Jo Noble, Emma Brooke and Murray Hicks will be taking on the 100km London to Brighton Ultra Challenge at the end of May to raise funds for Walking Cricket clubs in Sussex.
Walking Cricket clubs are a fantastic way to stay active in later life and are are incredibly popular. In addition to keeping fit these clubs also provide an opportunity to meet new people, make friends and have fun. All the money raised will go towards supporting our existing clubs and provide an opportunity to fund new clubs across the county. There are huge benefits to both physical and mental health by staying active throughout life and we at Sussex Cricket Foundation want to be able to provide as many opportunities as we can for those wishing to take part in Walking Cricket.
During the pandemic we had to stop all our Walking Cricket clubs, some restarted last year but many are only just re-starting now after almost 2 years. Walking Cricket means so much to those who attend. Here are a few quotes from our Bexhill and Sidley members:
Walking Cricket is very enjoyable, it keeps us moving which we need at our age. It is also a good social session.
Great fun, lovely to meet new people and old friends, cannot manage Walking Football, so Walking Cricket is a bonus.
Walking Cricket is a fun opportunity for all. It is played in an excellent spirit and is a great social chance for senior men to meet up for sport.
I have really enjoyed the Walking Cricket, its played in a friendly spirit, keeps me active and get to meet new faces.
Your donations will help ensure Walking Cricket thrives in Sussex!
We would like to thank you so much for your support.
