SPONSORED RUN / WALK
SUNDAY 25th MAY 2008
The idea of this event is to raise the funds needed to take
the children on the 59th Annual Outing to Southport, to
be held on Wednesday 2nd July this year. Along with
catering for their every need, we also provide every child
with a pre-selected gift of their own choice, up-to the
value of £25-00, so please support us by either doing the
run/walk or sponsoring someone that is. This day out is magical
for everyone. It means so much to these children who are all
partially sighted and who suffer from a range of disabilities.
If you feel that you would live to help out then please get intouch.
The walk :
starts from the royal school for the blind, church road west, wavertree
goes around sefton park
and back to the school.
We are trying to get this event back to what it used to be and are interested
in any help possible to bring this day out back to what we all remember
