A Walk

-
Sandringham Stroll 2008
The Norfolk
Hospice, Tapping House
will be taking steps to raise some serious cash as we step out for a
sponsored walk in Sandringham Country Park and they would like people -
from all walks of life - to come along and join in with the fun!
Come and
join Hospice staff, volunteers, supporters and other local folk for a
sponsored scenic saunter around Sandringham Country Park and the
surrounding areas.
Walks of 2, 5 and 8 miles are on offer to cater for a wide range of ages
and abilities. The 2 mile walk follows the Yellow Nature Trail through
the park while the slightly more energetic 5 and 8 mile walks have been
specially mapped-out by Hospice supporters from the King’s Lynn
Rambler’s Association.
Hospice Fundraiser Rob Cartwright is looking for as many people as
possible to join in with the event from seasoned walkers to school kids,
“The Hospice is always taking steps to ensure that we can provide the
vital care that supports terminally-ill patients and their families when
they need it most. Because we depend on the community we serve for 85%
of our funding we need as many people in Norfolk as possible to take
some big steps in the right direction with us on Sunday 18 May to help
us make it a great day of fun, fitness and fundraising!”
Anyone interested in joining the Stroll should contact
