Help for Heroes On Tuesday 20 July, Mrs Pauline Bott, assistant manager at Markfield Court Retirement Village undertook a 10 mile walk around the Village in aid of Help for Heroes.
Setting off at just before 8am she completed the distance in 3 hours 9 minutes and 23 seconds. She was fully supported by many of the residents of the Village and at no time did she have to walk alone. In spite of the pace set by Pauline, as is typical of her, she never lost her sense of humour or her ability to chat and chat and chat! Her achievement has been crowned by her raising the magnificent sum of £702.33. Her aim at the start was £50! Well done Pauline. The photo underlines her achievement and sense of fun as she crawls across the finishing line.
