DSN
Committee-member Gaynor is organising a sponsored walk around Whitlingham
Country Park to raise funds for Down's Syndrome Norfolk. The path
around the Broad is three miles long and Gaynor's partner Jason plans to
make ten circuits - a total of 30 miles! The idea is for other
members to match Jason's marathon+ march by completing just one or two
circuits. The route around the broad has lots of benches for rests
and is wheelchair and buggy friendly. If you'd like to take part or
sponsor one of the registered participants, please contact Gaynor.
Or bring a picnic and come along to meet up with friends and cheer on the
walkers! Email Gaynor to register or dsninfo@downsyndrome-norfolk.org.uk
for extra sponsorship forms. |
