On Sunday 7th April, Richard Thompson, an employee of Thomas Franks, walked from his home in Swanley, Kent to Wembley Stadium to watch Southend United in the Football League Trophy Final.ย He collected sponsorship for the walk and has so far raised a wonderful ยฃ370.00 for CRY.
“I must begin with a big thank you to all who have supported and sponsored me so far. As it stands, the current total raised is in excess of ยฃ350 and still rising!!! The walk was long and arduous, but not too painful – although it did need the medicinal values of a hot bath and a โlargeโ G & T to aid recovery, particularly as my beloved Southend United lost!
“The snapshot below is a copy of the route taken. It is not the most direct, but certainly the most ‘pedestrian-friendly’.”
