Wimbledon to Lords Charity Walk for Boost
Our founder Rob Stewart is taking part in a 23 mile Charity Walk on Friday 23rd June from Wimbledon to Lords.
It will be a challenging 23-mile walk passing 23 sports venues in support of 23 sports programmes.
Alongside others supporting the charity Boost, the walk will take them through some of London’s most iconic sporting sites including: Richmond Golf Club, Ham Polo Club, Twickenham Stadium, Kew Cricket Club, Craven Cottage, London Rowing Club and Stamford Bridge. Tim Henman will be with us at the start of our journey and they’ll be joined by England Cricket Legend Chris Lewis as they cross the finish line.
Boost Charitable Trust is a grant-giving charity and was set up in 2005. Its mission is to fund inspiring projects which help to improve the lives of the disadvantaged and disabled through the power of sport. Since inception they have granted awards amounting to over £2.3 million and been involved with nearly 70 different types of sport. Boost focuses on helping people in five main areas: physical and learning disabilities, financial hardship, mental health, social exclusion, and medical research and relief. Current projects include inclusive tennis coaching sessions for children and adults with disabilities, an inspiring rugby programme to help children in a financially hard-pressed area of the North West, a Saturday football club for refugees and asylum seekers, and a fantastic table-cricket programme for children with learning disabilities.
Your sponsorship and support is really appreciated. All the money received by Boost goes directly to the charitable projects, helping more people to have the opportunity to improve their lives through sport.
