WONDERFUL WALKERS: Care home duo from Chorleywood take on 10-mile charity walk

 Published on: 23rd October 2024   |   By: The Newsdesk   |   Category: Uncategorized

Two Chorleywood Manor Care Home residents took on a 10-mile charity walk through London, for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Eric Heather and Jill Todd’s combined age is 168. But that didn’t stop the pair from organising and completing a remarkable 10-mile London Bridges Walk on September 18. The funds will go to the Alzheimer’s Society, the UK’s leading dementia charity that offers help, hope and spreads awareness about dementia.

Their enthusiasm was contagious, and their feat garnered support from staff and fellow residents, walking past iconic sights such as the London Eye and Tower Bridge.

As Chorleywood News goes to print, the pair have surpassed their £1000 target, and are currently on more than £3,000.

Jill said: “We witness the dedication of the staff every day, caring for residents with dementia. We wanted to do our part to help.”

Eric continued: “It was incredible doing something amazing for charity, and I’m so thankful for the support from Jill and our team.”
