Sponsored Walk
15th September
The day was overcast, but spirits were high when around 20 walkers accompanied by a number of four-legged friends set off from Grosmont Station to follow the Grosmont to Goathland 'rail trail' on Sunday 15th September.
The group are pictured outside the home of Jackie, who has been a supporter of Mary Thompson Fund for many years. She kindly offered hospitality at the half way point and the walkers were looked after by a team of volunteers serving much needed cups of tea!
The Sponsorship received currently stands at just over £800 and donations are still coming in. This much needed cash will enable us to continue supporting around 70 destitute asylum seekers across Tees Valley, and also to consider additional requests for help with the purchase of school uniforms, travel costs etc.
A big thank you to our Chair Pete Widlinski for organising this successful and thoroughly enjoyable event!
