A CALL has been made to join this year’s Bracknell Together Walk, which takes place on Sunday from South Hill Park – and there are £1,000 worth of prizes to won.
Organised by members of the Rotary Club of Easthampstead, there are two routes.
The first is a three-mile stroll around South Hill Park along well-signed and marshalled wheelchair-friendly paths or a five-mile alternative which dips into Swinley Forest.
Participants receive a goody bag at the start, and a certificate at the finish.
And you can have your face painted for free.
This charity walk is supported by Duncan Yeardley Estate Agents, Grundon Waste Management, Peas and Carrots Caterers at South Hill Park, the Village Hotel Bracknell and Cala Homes. Thanks to them, more proceeds can go to the local charities you support.
Walkers are families, voluntary groups and clubs who have fun, and fundraise for their chosen charity.
The Bracknell Together Walk is suitable for all ages, and dogs are welcome too!
Raise money for your favourite charity – every penny you raise goes to the charity of your choice – and you can boost your charity fundraising with the cash prizes.
And any profits will go to our Rotary charities.
Recently, it has focused on supporting our foodbanks and The Cowshed, who all provide help to local families facing hardship.
You can start any time between 9am and noon. The Welcome Pack and Finishing Certificate await every walker, and hot and cold food and drinks are available all day.
So banish those Covid blues, have some fun and raise much-needed funds for your favourite charity or good cause in the Bracknell Together Walk.
Entry is free for all accompanied children under 14.
Save time on the day, register today via our event website: www.bracknelltogetherwalk.org
And if you’re feeling more energetic, then why not join us on our Three Counties Cycle Ride on Sunday, June 12.
Starting and finishing at Garth Hill College, there are three well-signed and marshalled routes, 15, 33 or 54 miles through the Berkshire countryside, dipping into Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire on the longer routes.
Log on to: https://3ccr.org/ for maps, photos and to reserve your start time. All for local charities.
Internationally, Rotarians have been at the forefront in the vaccination of children against the crippling disease Polio. That infrastructure is now being used in the global fight against the Coronavirus.
The registration fee is £5 per adult or £20 for a team of five or more adult, with no limit on the size of the group.
