On Sunday 16th April, the Friends of the Parkinson’s Centre for Integrated Therapy will be taking part in a sponsored walk from Deal to St Margaret’s Bay to raise vital funds for the Centre.
The walk that has been arranged is intended to be a fun walk over a scenic coastal route passing a number of historic sites and a variety of hostelries. There will be opportunities along the route for anyone who needs to refresh themselves or require a toilet break. The Friends Group aims to start the walk at 10.00am and would like to check participants in at the starting point which will be in the Car Park next to the Royal Hotel, Deal.
The walk will proceed along the flat (and mainly paved) coastal path from Deal to Walmer and then Kingsdown with a rest stop, for those in need, planned at the Zetland Arms on the beach at Kingsdown. This stop will also be the finishing line for anyone who is not able to or does not wish to attempt the second, more challenging stage. For those able and willing, the walk will then continue along the coastal path. This route involves ascending some fairly steep steps and then following a rough path that follows the cliffs to St Margaret’s Bay but does offer some stunning views. The finishing line for those who complete both stages will be at St. Margaret’s Bay where there are a choice of venues to rest and refresh.
The Group asks that participants set up a fundraising page on JustGiving and ask their family, friends and colleagues to sponsor them so that they can raise as much money as possible for the Centre.
If you have trouble setting up a page please contact Peter or Francis (as below) or alternatively you can make a one off gift through our website.
