To everyone that supported George's Walk - which raised over £55,000. George Coterell and George Robb both aged 12 walked from Hereford to London (150 miles) in just a week. Thank you also to the hotels that kindly sponosred overnight accommodation including Corse Lawn House Hotel, Cowley Manor, The Lygon Arms, Four Pillars Hotel and Stoke Park Club. Our particular thanks go to the Four Seasons Hotel, Hyde Park for sponsoring a celebratory afternoon tea reception at the end.

Everyone who sponsored Jack Cumming's Head Shave. Jack aged 11 undertook a sponsored head shave, raising an incredible £6,228. He commented: “I decided to shave my head because my Mum's cancer had come back and I wanted to help her get better. I decided to raise money for the CVI so that I could help other people too. I thought that if Mum was going to go bald she wouldn't be the only one in our family. When my head was being shaved I felt very nervous in case I didn't like it. It was odd to start with but the more I got used to it the more I liked it. Playing sport was a lot colder but at least I had less chance of getting nits. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Windelsham House School who were so supportive and who helped me organise the event, also, all the sponsors who were so incredibly generous.”
