Together we can change lives
Fresh air, stunning views and a bit of exercise - there's lots to be said for going on a country walk. On Sunday 6 May you can do all this and change the lives of people affected by cancer. So come on, join us and make a difference.
Watership Down Walk
Join us for this inspiring walk across (and up!) some of our most beautiful countryside. Stroll past the estate of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, look for bunnies at the top of the down and take in the breathtaking scenery as you make your ascent. Starting in the charming village of Ecchinswell, this is a glorious walk taking you through open countryside and beautiful villages. There are several pubs in the area as well as perfect picnicking spots en route, making this a great day out! Depending on your stamina levels you can choose from a fairly challenging 7.5 miles or a more bracing 12.5 mile route. As the route is quite strenuous, this event may not be suitable for younger children and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Join Us
To join us on the Watership Down walk all you have to do is complete the attached form and return it to us by post or email, or give us a call on 01264 343813 and have your credit card
details handy. It costs just £5* per adult to enter and you can register as many people as you like on one form. We're asking everyone taking part to raise a minimum of £25 in sponsorship and for those who raise £100 or more there'll be fabulous gifts to thank you for your efforts. Once you register with us, we'll send you a pack full of all the information you need including more details on the route and sponsorship forms as well as hints and tips on how to raise as much money as possible.
How you’ll make a difference
By taking part, you'll help us to improve the lives of people in the local community who are living with cancer. We are all affected by cancer. We can all help.
Remember that every step and penny counts:
£10 will pay for one caller to our CancerLine to be helped
£72 will fund a Macmillan nurse for half a day
£92 will provide a Macmillan grants to pay for a cancer patient's yearly prescription charges.
