The Midnight Walk is an annual event arranged by Sue Ryder to help raise funds for the care that makes a huge difference to the quality of life to people with challenging and complex life limiting conditions. This year they hope the 10 km Cheltenham walk will raise £70,000 through sponsorship towards the £74 million pounds they need to raise annually to continue their standard of care and support. Congratulations to Farncombe tutors Mary Pearson and Sue Pattinson who took part and have so far raised £720 towards their target of £1000. They hope to raise more from their workshop on Sunday 27th June.
