We're
walking for the Werewolves!
No,
not some hairy wolf-like figures, but a friendly bunch of children and young
people who either have a disability or special need and are playing the coolest
sport in the world -
Ice
hockey!So
what are we doing?
Well
on the 15th May, we will be walking the lovely hills and countryside that they
call The South Downs.We
are still recruiting team members, so if you want to join us, please contact us
through the Werewolves website!
All of the funds raised from
this walk will be ringfenced and used only to help fund the hosting of the
Annual Special Hockey International Tournament in England in April 2012, to
ensure that our Canadian and American guests receive a warm welcome and all the
players enjoy a memorable experience in what is sure to be a historic year for
sporting events in England.
Who
are these Werewolves then?
The
Werewolves of London disabled and special needs ice hockey team; was set up in
2002 by a parent (Mike Dwyer). Since 2002 the club has grown, and they now
have around 70 players.
Thank
you for helping us. If you'd like any more information on the Werewolves
of London, please see the web page :
