Family run estate agency Rochills is urging
parents to enrol their little one’s to take part in a junior fundraising event
for Cancer Research UK next month. ‘Little Legs for Life’ will be held at Esher
Rugby Club on June 8 and is sponsored by Rochills. The race is designed especially for young boys
and girls. Children walk or run as many 500m laps at the club as they can
manage in order to raise money to help beat cancer.
‘Little Legs for Life’ started in 2009 when
eight Hersham and Walton parents formed a fundraising group in memory of their
friend, Sarah Jack, who died of cancer aged just 36. The group has already raised more than £80,000
through Little Legs for Life and annual Pink Party. This year with the help of
the local community, they hope to smash through the £100,000 barrier.
Nancy Scott, chair of the Walton-on-Thames
CRUK group, said; “We wanted to find a way that children could get involved in
fundraising that was fun as well as a great community event. We are hoping to
break the £100,000 mark this year and need the community to help us achieve
this.”
There are lots of other activities on the
day with hospital station Radio Wey providing music for the afternoon as well
as face painting, a cake stall, ice cream, a raffle and live auction. Rochills
will be providing the refreshments and roaming entertainment. Families are
encouraged to bring a picnic and stay on after the children have finished
running.
Little Legs
for Life takes place on Saturday 8th June at Esher Rugby Club from
2pm and is sponsored by family run estate agents Rochills. Registration is
£6.50 per child and this includes a t-shirt and a medal.
