Scottish Stride For Sight walkers
Stride For Sight September 2010
Well done to everyone who took part in Stride for Sight 2009. We had walkers all over the country and in Belfast. 11 branches walked over bridges, along seafronts and on some of the busy streets of the UK.
So to 2010...
Over the weekend of 25th & 26th September 2010, we want to get as many walkers as possible again, to raise our profile and additional funds. Anyone can take part, and if you can arrange a walk for us on these days, large or small, contact Michelle on michelle@brps.org.uk.
