First ever Sunrise Walk is a hit
25 July 2009
Our first ever, ladies only, Sunrise Walk took part on Sunday 28th June and what a fantastic success it was! A grand total of 636 local ladies adorned in bright pink Sunrise Walk T-Shirts turned up to begin either the full 19km route, or the shorter half route, between 4.44am (sunrise) and 7.00am. Between them they pledged a wonderful £62,000 in sponsorship money.
The weather came up trumps,
remaining reasonably nice and cool
until around 10.00, but giving
everyone the opportunity to enjoy
full sunshine whilst sitting on the
grass and enjoying their
‘congratulations’ breakfast after
the walk. With a range of
participants, with children as young
as 4 taking part, to ladies in their
60’s and 70’s, it truly was a fun
family day (well morning!) for all
to enjoy.
