Midlands Sponsored Walk
The 7th May saw the Midlands walk out in support of The Joshua Foundation. Walkers came from as far and wide as North Wales, Cheshire and Sheffield.

The Walk was arranged by Julie Nixon who is the School Co-ordinator for the Midlands.

It took place on 7th May in the Peak District.

Everyone met at Millers Dale, Where Sarah Cornelius gave a talk, then everyone walked on to Bakewell, approximately 60 people took part including Oz team members, youngsters came from North Wales, Merseyside, Cheshire, Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Coventry, Rugby, Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield and many of the youngsters were supported by their parents who provided supervision.

The day was a great success despite the changing weather; everyone got wet, dry, wet, muddy, wet and finally dry again. Despite this everyone was in good spirits and really enjoyed themselves, there was a great team spirit amongst the youngsters especially when it can to providing piggy backs across the stretches of path where the river had burst its banks!

The total amount raised on the day has not yet been confirmed as the money was raised on an individual bases, however most of the Oz team seemed to raise a significant amount towards their targets.

All in all it was a great day with lots of new friendships made and plenty of money raised for children with terminal cancer.
