| Welcome to the Grappenall Walk website 2011
walk now completed - with £2450 raised - thanks for the support
- we'll be back in 2012. An
Introduction How
did the Walk start? When Sue was back and too, to hospital two or three times a week and when complications set in she knocked them back - "this 'thing' is not going to beat me" was her rebuff to all her problems. Myself and Martin now had a different life to get on with and that's what we've done. We've talked about Sue a lot and the laughter has still been there when we talk about some of the many fun times we all had. The gap in our lives will never be filled and by raising money we hope we can help other families to not have to go through what we have been through.
Help us to raise loads of money by spreading the word of 'The Walk' amongst work colleagues, friends and family. Request a sponsor form and Start 'The Walk' campaign now. If you'd like to join in and would prefer to turn up and make a donation that's ok – the more who do 'The Walk' the better. Whatever the weather 'The Walk' goes ahead - we've had heavy rain and warm sunshine (no snow yet tho!). It's a fantastic atmosphere, 'The Walk' is not exhausting – only 5k and the free buffet afterwards is well the effort! The satisfaction and fulfilment we see on the faces when the walkers return tells me 'The Walk' has been a success and the after walk comments make it all worthwhile.
