Walking the Walk for Friends of the Ferns

On Sunday, 25th June 2017, 21 intrepid supporters took part in the Orwell Walk to raise funds for Friends of the Ferns. The 21 included 5 from Dr David Chittick’s surgery, 6 retired police officers, including 2 retired Chief Constables from Suffolk, and 3 Trustees of Friends of the Ferns. Wearing tee shirts displaying the Friends of the Ferns logo, 8 walked the 12 mile course and 13 tackled the 19 mile course. The aim was to raise £2,000 but everyone’s effort was rewarded with over £3,000 being raised.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone for taking part in this walk for the benefit of Friends of the Ferns, and particularly to Paul Marshall who, not only walked 19 miles, but also organised the walkers on our behalf.

This is the team:
