Howard Lake | 6 February 2007 | Newswire
5th February 2007 : – – Following the huge success of the Multiple Sclerosis Society’s 10km Littlefoot fundraising walk in 2006, it is hoped that even more ‘little feet’ will get their trainers on and get walking to help support the 85,000 people with multiple sclerosis in the UK.
There will be three separate events, open to anyone over the age of 10, two of which will be held in stunning National Trust properties. The third event will be at Cholmondeley Castle, a favourite walking venue in past years as well as this year!
· 12th May in Stourhead, Wiltshire
· 2nd June at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire
· 11th August at Cholmondeley Castle, Cheshire
Over the three events, the MS Society is hoping to attract over 600 walkers. Each adult walker is asked to raise a minimum of £100 although overall it is hoped that a fantastic £ 90,000 will be raised to help support people with multiple sclerosis and help fund associated research projects.
Sherine Krause, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at the MS Society said: Fundraising walks are about having fun, as well as supporting the valuable work of the MS Society. Littlefoot brings together all sorts of people together for a fantastic day out in the countryâ€.
Littlefoot will run alongside the MS Society’s other walking events; Wheel & Walk, a brand new full-access event; and Bigfoot, the MS Society’s long-running, two-day 50km walk.
