Sponsors Walk May 2010

The 14^th LIONS Annual Sponsored Walk

The Teulada/Moraira Lions Club 14^th Annual Sponsored Walk in Moraira took place on Sunday 30^th May. The aim of the walk was to raise money which could then be donated towards local families and children in need. The current economic crisis has hit many local families very hard and the Teulada/Moraira Lions have, with your valuable and kind support, been able to help many families during the past year.

The walk started near the castle at the seafront in Moraira, and followed a gentle 6.5km route around the local area. It then returned to the centre of the village before finishing back at the castle. The local police escorted the walkers around the route as did a Red Cross ambulance in case of injuries. It was a hot day but the walk was well attended with many Lions, friends and families taking part. The walk was for everyone, for all ages and fitness levels and it certainly isn't a race with everyone going at their own pace. APASA took part in the walk with 50% of there walk proceeds going to there own charity. The Alcalde, Antoni Bertomeu and Councillor Sylvia Tatnell were on the walk and completed the full 6.5 kms course.

Over 2,300 euros was donated from sponsorship and collections on route and this will all go to local families. A special mention must go to 6 year old Jack Crew who not only completed the walk but raised 304 euros in sponsorship. Two photographs show the walk underway with the lead car and the Lions mascot.
