More than 100 people put their best foot forward for Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity’s (DVLCC) annual sponsored walk.
Families, supporters, and local businesses laced up their walking boots for ‘Walk Together’ to raise vital funds to support children with cerebral palsy, chromosome abnormalities and rare genetic disorders.
“It was so important to us to create an accessible route as part of the walk, so our families could be part of the day,” said Glenys Creese, CEO of Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity.
“We wanted to highlight the achievements of all the children we support, so having them walk alongside us on the day was a really special moment for us all.”
Families supported by the charity, past and present, walked alongside supporters of all ages on a 5k or 15k route near Haywards Heath in Sussex.
So far, the walk has raised over £20,000 and every penny raised will go toward helping DVLCC continue to provide life-changing support to children and their families, completely free of charge.
