Story

On Saturday 15th April 2017 a small group of family and close friends are walking from Stevenage to Great Ormond Street (32 miles) in memory of Elizabeth and to celebrate what would have been her 12th birthday (18th April) We are also hoping to raise funds for our GOSH cause to channel it into resourcing parent accommodation for those needing to be near their ill child. We hope you can support us by donating. Thank you from us all.

On Sunday 19th February we had practice session #2, this time walking over half of the walk that we'll be walking on the day. We met up at Stevenage Football Club at 10 am and walked to Potter Bar, arriving at 6pm. With only one 1 hour stop on the way we all arrived at Potters Bar train station rather tired but managed to run up the stairs for the train! Final big practice session before the BIG walk will be on Saturday 1st April, 2 weeks ahead of the event.
