We’re in the news! Calling all Saints and Mind supporters….
https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/23613485.9-mile-walk-warrington-aid-two-charitable-trusts/
As many of you know, Mind St Helens is collaborating with Saints Community Development Foundation to raise funds for both charities by taking part in a sponsored walk on Friday 7th July starting at the Saints ground and ending at the Warrington ground ahead of the match between the two teams. A number of staff, trustees and volunteers are already signed up to complete the 8 mile walk, starting at the Totally Wicked Stadium at 2pm and all those taking part can claim a free ticket to the match, along with transport back to St Helens afterwards.
Now, if like me 8 miles is a bit too much of a challenge worry not - you can still take part by completing a lap or two around the Saints pitch at the start of the walk and asking friends and family to sponsor you. And for those who can’t make it that day, please think about sponsoring someone taking part - details to follow.
So far more than 60 people from St Helens have signed up, including the Thatto Heath Girls rugby team and the Saints Learning Disabilities rugby team, so it really will be an opportunity for everyone from the St Helens community to take part. So please, if you can, get involved!
Sponsorship already stands at just under £2,000 and with Gift Aid and some matched funding, the target of £5,000 is within our grasp!
To register for the walk simply email mike.webster@saintsrlfc.com
If you don't have access to email, we can complete your registration for you - just text the word WALK and your full name to Anita on 07730587094 by no later than 4pm on Monday 3rd July, not forgetting to tell us if you would like to claim a free standing ticket for the match and/or transport back to St Helens after the match. Hope to see you there!
SAINTS Community Development Foundation - in partnership with St Helens MIND - will be holding a sponsored walk to Warrington on Friday, 7 July.
