Charity Walk

92 mile walk for Rainbows Children’s Hospice – 23rd to 29th August 2021

Six members of the group Tony, Chris, Penny, Phil, Dave and Jane recently completed a 92mile sponsored walk, in aid of Rainbows Children’s Hospice. They walked the length of the Trent Mersey Canal starting at Northwich and finishing at Shardlow, walking 13 – 16 miles each day.

Thankfully the weather was favourable, it didn’t rain. However, there were a couple of casualties, with Jane retiring after 3 days and Phil not ducking quickly enough going under a low bridge and splitting his head open. He ended up at the Stoke Walk in Centre getting it glued back together. But like a true soldier and even after developing some nasty blisters on his feet, Phil and everyone completed all 92 miles

It was tiring and a bit of a slog towards the end but the team spirit, a lot of laughs and the thought of all the people who had sponsored them kept the team going.

Huge congratulations from the rest of Footloose on their achievement!
