St Lawrence resident David Waller has set himself a challenge for 2017, to run from his home near Ventnor to Bath, Somerset where his children live – to combine his passion for running and visiting his family.
As part of the challenge David is raising funds for Independent Arts’ SingAbout sessions, which both David and his wife attend in Ventnor.
David said:
“The sessions are led by Creative Practitioner Lizzie Flynn who is so vibrant and inspiring and I love attending.
“Recently Independent Arts asked if anyone would be interested in fundraising for them. Independent Arts is such a small charity on the Isle of Wight but have always enabled their community groups to remain free for everyone to attend. I thought what a perfect way to help them raise money and continue the valuable work they do”.
The challenge will be undertaken in 8 stages over 10 days throughout May. David will be running over the Freshwater way, through the New Forest, skirting Cranmore chase and the running through Wiltshire and into Somerset, finishing the run in Bath on Saturday 13th May – a distance of more than 130 miles.
Project Manager Hannah Griffiths said:
“We are so pleased that David has offered to fundraise for SingAbout as part of his epic challenge. It just shows the strong community that SingAbout builds, and how passionately our participants feel about supporting their groups”
