 Sunday 1st June 2008
A big thank you to everyone who braved the raining conditions and walked
across the Mendips or Seafront on Sunday 1st June in aid of Weston Hospicecare.
Out of 683 people who registered, 561 people took part and we are really hoping that
we will reach our fundraising target of £40,000.
For reasons beyond out control we were not able to give you a medal on the day. However,
we envisage that we will be able to send out a medal to everyone who took part in about
a months time. Meanwhile I do apologise for the delay.
If you would like to see the photos that were taken on the
day by UK Events please visit their website at

As well as the event being a great day out, it crucially plays a big part in raising
funds for Weston Hospicecare. The Hospice's running costs are around £2.4 million
and we receive minimal goverment funding. Therefore, events such as the Mercury
Mendip Challenge play a vital role in raising funds and we ask that you send in your
sponsorship money and form ASAP to Weston Hospicecare, 28 Thornbury Road, Uphill,
Weston super Mare, N Somerset, BS23 4YQ.
Many thanks for your support and well done
