Princesshay’s security team are to take on a 21 hour endurance walk to raise money for Princesshay’s charity of the year Dream-A-Way starting at 7pm on Friday 21 November and finishing at 4pm the following day on Saturday 22 November.

Dream-A-Way is celebrating its 21st anniversary this year and to mark the occasion and to raise money, Princesshay’s management and security team have been actively fundraising since the beginning of the charity partnership in January.

Mike Kerswell, Security Supervisor has rounded up the troops to take part in the 21 hour endurance walk challenge.

The course will start at Princesshay Square and will create a loop around Princesshay via Paris Street and Broadwalk House.

Fundraisers will walk continuously for 21 hours individually or as part of a relay team.

Mike Kerswell, Princesshay Security Supervisor said: “The security team and I are thrilled to be taking part in the 21 endurance walk for Dream-A-Way. We hope to raise at least £1000 for our charity of the year and we look forward to presenting them with a cheque after the event.”

Those looking to help raise money for Dream-A-Way can sponsor the Princesshay security team via http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/princesshaysecurity  

A £100 Princesshay Gift Card will be awarded to the highest fundraiser of the team.

All proceeds raised will be donated to Dream-A-Way to help fund holidays and day trips to people living in Devon, Cornwall and the Scilly Isles with physical and learning difficulties.

Jeff Merrett, Chairman of Dream-A-Way said: “It’s been an incredible year working with Princesshay and this final event together with our Mercedes Car Raffle Draw announcement, will mean we finish on a real high!”

To show their support of this excellent initiative by the wonderful Princesshay Team, Dream-A-Way are actively putting together their very own Dream Team to walk beside the Princesshay Team for the full 21 hours
We need a few more volunteers to complete our team ...can you help?

We need extra walkers to cover one hour shifts especially between 10pm and 9am. 

Just email jeff@dream-a-way.org or text 07796 442144 and we’ll add you to the Dream Team. If you can’t take up the walking challenge why not help us to make even more Dreams to Come True by considering a donation which can be made here.   

Princesshay works with a local charity partner each year raising thousands of pounds through fundraising events and support.
