Fundraising -3rd April 200803/04/2008

The Easter Raffle, organised by Christopher, to boost the money he is raising for the Hospice by taking part in a sponsored trek through the untouched Lares region of Peru, raised £170.00. Christopher has to raise £3,099.00, and is well on target to achieving this. Even as we speak, Christopher will have begun his adventure, after being embroiled in the Terminal 5 fiasco at Heathrow.
Please join us on Sunday, 20th April when we will be Walking the Planks of Llandudno Pier.
Everyone taking part will walk 5 miles on this historic landmark, and hopefully amongst the participants there will be many pirates!
The walk will begin at the Happy Valley Gates (next to Paddy’s Bait and Tackle Shop). Each walker will be issued with a special card which will be hole punched on the completion of each circuit, therefore making it easy to keep a tally on the distance covered. For those who wish to take a break during the course of the walk (approx. 2 hours), the café at the end of the pier will be open for business. Alternatively why not bring a picnic. This is not so much an endurance test as a good day out for the family!
For further details or an information pack please contact Beth or Marie on 01492 879058
