During the last 10 years, the numbers of walkers and benefiting charities and good causes have grown dramatically and now the total amount raised through sponsorship is approximately £250,000.

Last June, Eva Heyes single-handedly (or double footedly) raised sponsorship of £777 for the Alzheimers Society East Sussex by completing the seven-mile walk from Bexhill to Crowhurst and back – the eighth year that she has raised funds for the charity.

On the same day Sarah Smith raised £1,275 for Hearing Concern and Cavan O’Connor raised £750 for Sidley Cricket Club.

The Alzheimers Society also held a memory walk in September when supporters raised approximately £4,000, and next spring community fundraiser Sarah Neighbour is carrying out a sponsored parachute jump over Headcorn airfield.
