Julies Sponsored Walk for Clyst Caring Friends
Hi, my name is Julie, I'm 79 years old and I live in Broadclyst. I have been inspired by recent fundraising events and I would like to raise money to aid CLYST CARING FRIENDS.
Clyst Caring Friends was founded in 1986 by Dr Walker at Pinhoe surgery, who realised there was a need for a transport service to help patients attend medical appointments. With local help, the charity was formed and have been going strong ever since, providing patient transport service, social activities and running a day centre for local elderly, infirm, disabled or isolated residents.
One of Clyst Caring Friends sources of income is its popular charity shop behind the Post Office in Broadclyst. Staffed entirely by volunteers, it relies on people donating and buying a wide range of items, however, due to closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, this is not possible, and the charity is losing vital income.
I am calling upon everyone in the local area to help me raise funds for Clyst Caring. Please support my fundraising by visiting my Go Fund Me page as I complete 100 laps – over 6 miles - around where I live. I suffer from COPD and have mobility issues, so this is very important to my health too. I will, of course, be adhering to self-distancing regulations. I’m hoping to achieve this with the help of my walker and by completing a minimum of 5 laps a day. I will be starting from Sunday 19th April 2020.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, Julie xx
