Walk For Skin
Owh my back, I should be used to it as I do the flickr meets every two weeks! Walk for Skin in Sutton Park went well, was over far too fast though, quite a chilly day compared to what we had last week.
The walk aims to fund raise for various skin charities from changing faces to skin cancer research. Andy came over and we headed over to the park and waited for my parents, who had walked roughly a mile or so to get to the park anyway. At the end I spotted Lorna, who had helped organise things and had a brief chat. Many thanks for a great event, it just needs some race for life eyeballs really as dermatology touches more people.
We found the tent and had a look around, a brass band playing music to the group of people and a balloon man on stilts entertaining children. Me and Andy took a few photos and then we were off, with bacon buttie in hand.
We were trying to catch up with the front of the pack to get some good photos so ended up jogging certain bits, the walk for skin, just became the jog for skin.
Nice stroll through a nice and very local park (it’s a huge park too) and at the end we collected our goodie bags, went to get our forms stamped and headed back to the car.
There are more walks for skin, going up till June so check out the site:
