Community Heroes Award 2010

On Monday night Daisy was the proud receipient of a Community Heroes Award at the Southport Convention Centre.
This prestigious award recognises her efforts in fundraising for Scope and also provides recognition for the mammoth undertaking of the walk.
Daisy was one of a select few individuals who received the award. The event itself was fantastic. It was heartwarming to hear all the stories of individuals and groups who are doing so many good things within the community.

Days 14-16 - Knighton to Newchurch - 20 Miles

Since the kids are back in school we have still been continuing to walk the path over weekends.
We have now walked a total of 116 miles! So that only leaves 61 miles to go.
We are so proud of what Daisy has done so far, and next weekend we are going to be accompanied by Daisy's grandpa Royo again for the longest trek of the hike which is a 17.5 mile stretch.
The main highlight over the last 20 miles was walking along Hergest Ridge, an open common filled with sheep and wild ponies.

Thanks to all the friends we made on the trail, and thanks for all the donations we have received, both off and on the trail.
We now have raised a total of £740.71 which is an amazing effort.
