Goodnight Walk by Danielle Teahan...


This weekend my Mum is doing the Goodnight Walk, a fundraising event in the shape of a sponsored walk at night to raise funds for the Iain Rennie Hospice At Home charity.

The charity provides specialist nursing care for patients who wish to stay at home during the final stages of any terminal or life threatening illnesses. The charity relies on fundraising and donations from people such as you.

The 13.1 mile walk takes place on the 7th June 2008, commencing at midnight and finishing a few hours later with a breakfast roll from Amersham Community Centre. The ladies will take a route through Amersham and Little Chalfont, walking a half marathon. It is a huge challenge for all women taking part, especially as it takes place through the night when all you want to do is sleep!
The Goodnight Walk 2008 is sponsored by Hartgraph Graphic Communications, Buckinghamshire Advertiser, Clarity, Robsons Estate Agents, Green & Blacks and Nature Valley. If you would like to help out on the night you can contact the fundraising team on 01442 890 222 or email Ruth Barber at rbarber@irhh.org. They need as many volunteers as possible. The Bull Hotel would like congratulate everyone taking part and wish them all good luck!
