As the clock strikes 9pm on Friday 11th July 2008, the private grounds of Anstey Hall in Trumpington, Cambridge will come alive as hundreds of walkers set off on a 7 mile charity walk to raise funds for two youth charities; Teenage Cancer Trust and Q103 Kids.
The walk will take participants on a fabulous route into the city, and will start and finish in Cambridges’ best-kept secret venue; the private grounds of Anstey Hall, the Lutyens house, recently restored by John de Bruyne.
This is a great opportunity to not only take in some of the historical and fascinating sights of the local area but also make a difference to the lives of less fortunate children, teenagers and young adults in the local area. Our aim this year is simply to top last years fundraising total allowing us to give grants to many more local children's charities; funds raised at this event will be split equally between Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) and Q103 Kids. It's sponsored by Excell, who we thank with all our hearts!
