Title: The Fun Walk 2019
Date and time: 8 September 2019, 12pm - 2pm (race starts at 1pm)
Location: Barleylands Farm, Barleylands Road, Billericay CM11 2UD.
Simply is pleased to be taking part in John Baron MP’s annual Fun Walk this September, alongside Quilters Junior School. Ruth Napp, Managing Director of Simply, and members of the team will be walking in memory of Ruth’s sister, beloved Quilters Junior School teacher, Sarah Cobb, who passed away in 2013.
Both Simply and Quilters Junior school will be walking the hour long trail to raise funds for ‘Sarah’s Garden’, a beautiful space within the school that was created in memory of Sarah. The donations will allow every schoolchild to spend one afternoon per year in the garden, where they can spend time gardening, participating in arts and crafts or spending time remembering Sarah and their loved ones.
Set up by John Baron, MP for Basildon and Billericay in 2002, the annual walk which is hosted by Barleylands farm, raises money for numerous local charities and good causes. Last year, for every £100 donated to a charity or cause, The Fun Walk donated £65 to the fundraising campaigns. They will be matching this with a similar figure for September’s event.
Thank you for sponsoring us in our effort to raise funds for Sarah’s Garden, we are very grateful for your generosity.
