THAMES BRIDGES TREK

SATURDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER

25KM OR IN OLD MONEY 15.5 MILES

Yes, you have read it correctly I have been persuaded to take part in the Thames Bridges Trek. Walking from Putney Bridge to Tower Bridge. https://www.ultrachallenge.com/thames-bridges-trek/

I did this walk as a 13yr old teenager and now in my 70th year I’m going to do it again.

Thankfully not on my own. My daughter Lucy persuaded me and then we added my daughter in law Louisa, then our friend Kelly and my husband Tony. Now we have been joined by our friend Naomi and we are all training very hard.

As a team we are the ‘Golden Oldies’ with an age range from 41 to 70.

FUNDRAISING

I volunteer at the St Peter and St Paul Food Pantry in Rustington. The Pantry is open to anyone struggling financially. We run 4 Pantry sessions a week in different locations: the church hall and 3 schools. All the food we give out is donated by large and small local businesses, people in the community, and churches.

Each week over a 100 people can choose up to 10 items of food, from fresh vegetables, fruit, bread, tinned products, hygiene and laundry products. That’s a massive 1000 items a week. ANYONE WHO IS STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY IS WELCOME.

Alongside the Church Pantry each week, we also have a space for FREE coffee and chat and where representative from various welfare services offer advice from debt managements, housing, electric, gas, water, and insurance concerns. Once a month we have a dinner for Pantry users, often sponsored by a local business. Plus, a quieter afternoon tea for a small group of adult Pantry users, also once a month

If you can, will you please support us by donating to the St Peter and St Paul Food Pantry in Rustington.

Or please support us by cheering us on, thinking of us and praying for good weather and strong legs. Thank you.
