Walking the Wards

Rowan House's Claire Philips-High reports on her recent fundraising walk in the grounds of Wilton House for Salisbury hospital's Stars Appeal...

Walk for Wards was such a great experience and I’m still aching, I fear I am definitely unfit! My dad was really touched that we did the walk to raise money for the hospital that looked after him and it was fantastic to walk with the thousands of other fundraisers who also had their own personal reason for raising money for the charity. This year’s walk had the highest number of participants and enough money was raised to buy Salisbury hospital the much-needed CT scanner, which is just brilliant!

I would most certainly do it again, the walk was actually really enjoyable and the grounds very beautiful, the organisers even put on a little buffet for the walkers afterwards which was so nice and definitely needed as we all worked up quite an appetite.

Thanks Claire - that buffet sounds like it was very welcome! Note that Claire sent in her report last week, so hopefully all the aches have disappeared by now :)
