Walking from Valero to Southend Pier · 3 June 2025

Wipe Away Those Tears grants special wishes for children in Essex, with life limiting or life threatening illnesses. We have no overheads or administrative costs, so every penny raised goes to the intended cause. Our application process is so simple. We want to help as many families as possible.

Story

We was first told about Wipe away those tears through a customer who comes in and her baby was very poorly.

We heard that this Charity sends families away for days out or mini breaks etc to give them some quality fun time away without worrying about costs.

How amazing that must be for them, having a day out or time out just to be together and have a little relief from what's going on.

We would like to try and help other families experience this, so we thought let's do a walk to one of the places that everyone knows.....Southend pier.

Its only 30 miles :-D and will probably take over 10 hours but it has to a challenge.

We will start from Valero and try our hardest to all make it to the end. Most of the staff (12 of us) will be taking part so wish us luck and thank you so much for your support.
