Walking ‘The Ridgeway National Trail’ for ‘New Directions Rugby’

Jan Ridgway, President of the ‘Inner Wheel Club of Rugby’ 2022-23 has decided to walk ‘The Ridgeway’ to raise funds for ‘New Directions Rugby’.

The ‘Ridgeway National Trail’ runs 87 miles from Avebury Circle in Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire.

Jan’s eldest daughter, Sarah, and granddaughter Sophie will be supporting her. With considerably more years under her belt and a double knee replacement Jan says she definitely the weakest link!

Thank you for fundraising for us, you are making a real difference to the lives of the people who we support.

Our fundraisers go the extra mile to raise funds for our charity from fun days, quiz nights, sponsored walks in the Peak District, recycling technology, walking up mountains, to cake sales and sampling home cooked samosas.
