Melissa Ward

We went out at night to meet with Melissa, the GIG communications manager and it was nice to catch up in an informal environment!

This man, Phil, is a neighbour of Lisa Ward (nee Threadwell) On the 22/23 June he has decided to walk along the coast of Kent from from Hythe to Herne Bay.It's carrying on from where they finished last year as they raised money for charity.The walk will be approx 55 miles and they are aiming to complete it in approx 24 hours - no sleep - just the odd break for a drink/sock change or two.He will get firm details of the actual route in the next few weeks - i.e. what town's we'll go through, checkpoints etc.

He will do the walk with 4 other guys from his work (RBS) and he has decided to raise some cash for charity whilst getting some blisters!RBS are great in supporting charity and last year they raised a significant amount- as RBS match what you raise.He has already committed himself to raising cash for a charity that they support in work; hospices for children and would love to raise as much as he can for whoever he can - and he would love to raise money for our charity as well.I will post some sponsor forms to him and a t-shirt to wear to raise some awareness.Lisa is keen in supporting him on our behalf, so I hope to update you on the results of this in our next newsletter in September.
