London Bridges Walk

LONDON BRIDGES WALK IN AID OF CHASE CHILDREN’S HOSPICE

The forecast for Sunday 17th August was awful but thankfully wrong and, consequently, Vickie Sturman, Carol Mapp, Vickie Lennard and Nicola Sparkes (together with three friends) thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the sponsored seven mile walk across 9 of the London Bridges for CHASE children’s hospice.

Starting out at Tower Bridge and finishing at the Oval to watch Hampshire v Surrey the day was a great success and the girls from Brooks & Partners raised money for a charity they feel deserves as much support as possible. The game of cricket was an education for some who had never understood it in the first place. How can you have a "game" that goes on for five days but can still end in a draw!

“Last year the firm’s chosen charity was Phyllis Tuckwell and this year the staff have spread efforts further” said Michael Brooks “Ten of our female members of staff took part in the Race for Life and now four have completed the London Bridges Walk. I am very proud of the effort put in by members of staff for Charity events. I am also delighted to say that Brooks will be taking part in the upcoming "Dare to Wear it Pink" event in aid of Breast Cancer, though I have no idea yet what I will wear!".
