Moors Manor Care Home Does Sponsored Walk For West Moors Dementia Action Group

Staff and residents at Moors Manor Care Home in St Leonards have taken part in a sponsored walk in the home to raise money for West Moors Dementia Action Group.

Residents and staff decided to walk the equivalent of The Three Peeks Challenge which is 23 miles. Staff and resident Marianne took to the treadmill to clock up the miles. Residents Jenny, Rita, Christine and Eileen did loops round the garden to clock up the miles with staffs walking with them. Everyone had lots of fun together to get the miles in and were all so happy to be raising money for this wonderful cause.Residents, their relatives and staff were all very supportive and were there to cheer on the participants as they began the fundraising challenge.

Gemma Chalkley, General Manager at Moors Manor Care Home, said:
“Taking part in this challenge has been a huge amount of fun and everyone at the home has been behind us all the way. It’s for such an important cause. I’m very glad to be able to do my bit to raise further awareness and money for the charity.”

Moors Manor raised a grand total of £150.80 by completing the challenge, which will be donated to West Moors Dementia Action Group.
