WALK AROUND WICKSTEAD



Ian with the Mayor, pledging our
support for the Make A Difference
Walk at Wickstead Park



The pocket dynamo that is our Mayor of Kettering, Councillor Shirley Lynch, is inviting us all to join her on the Make A Difference Walk on Sunday 6 March 2011, in aid of the Kettering & District Prostate Cancer Support Group and the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Service.

The Mayor is walking 26 miles around Wickstead Park (in high heel shoes no less), to raise funds for these two wonderful and deserving local charities, and would love to meet you during the adventure.

Wickstead Park, as always, has been magnificent by offering their grounds for the walk and will mark out the route, and I'm sure the Mayor has organised some truly spectacular weather for the event.  Well, she is a kind of get-things-done kinda woman, so I wouldn't doubt the spectacular weather prediction!

You are invited to assemble in the clearly marked area from 10am, whilst the walk itself commences at 11am; the entrance fee is £3 per person.  To register and/or purchase your tickets, please call (01536) 534272 - or just show up on the day.  It's just what you need before you tuck into your Sunday roast, and you'll be making a difference for the Kettering & District Prostate Cancer Support Group AND the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Service. 

Both charities truly deserve our support; a customer and great friend of IKD Kitchens had her life saved THREE times by the air ambulance, following a road traffic accident, as the medics on board just would not quit - they are exceptional people, doing an exceptional job and we need them.

If you're unable to make Sunday 6 March at Wickstead Park,  but would still like to make a donation to the charities, please make cheques payable to "The Mayor's Charity" and post them to The Mayor's Secretary, Bowling Green Road, Kettering, NN15 7QX, and know that every penny will make a difference.

Thank you

Ian & Karan xx
