The Pace Big Walk and Superhero Mile raises thousands

The annual Pace Big Walk and Superhero Mile raised more than £7,000, supporting those with neurodisabilities to access Pace services.

The event saw a strong turnout, with walkers embarking on different route lengths along the Ridgeway Trail between Watlington and Wendover.

The walk started at 7am and featured 18, 12 and six-mile routes, as well as a mile-long walk which saw participants dress as superheroes.

All of the proceeds go towards supporting the 400 babies, children, young people and families Pace works with each year.

The charity provides specialist therapies, early intervention and education for individuals with neurodisabilities such as cerebral palsy.

Caroline Bennett, chief operations officer, said: "At Pace our primary aim is to help our children reach their fullest potential and take their place in the world.

"The sense of community spirit was inspiring with 210 people taking part and going the distance for Pace."

Walkers were greeted back at Wendover Memorial Hall with live music provided by the Ukie-Toons who donated their time for the cause.

The event was supported by advertisers and refreshment sponsors Flannery, Motts, who provided coaches, and Aquaid, who supplied water.

It also had the backing of Woodholls Estate Agents and Irwin Mitchell, the Aylesbury Landrover Fanatics and many volunteers.
