THERE was no such thing as a bridge too far for a devoted team of Leamington nursery colleagues when them took on a London charity walking challenge.
Starting at Westminster, the group of 13 colleagues from the Emscote House Day Nursery – Becca Jeffs, Suky Virdee, Lilly Bradley, Irene Gomez, Keris Jones, Shannon Simmons, Alina Harrington, Krista Knight, Grace Bailey, Chace Archer, Shenila Hamid-Hussain, Saima Hamid and Abby Rudd, walked the length of the River Thames, crossing every bridge along the route before reaching their final destination at the iconic Tower of London.
As a result of their 9km effort, the team raised over £800 for The Sick Children’s Trust, which will now help provide families with a warm, welcoming place to stay when their child is seriously ill in hospital. Without this vital support, many families would face long journeys, sleepless nights in hospital chairs, or expensive hotel stays.
Emscote House business administrator Becca Jeffs said; “Despite being particularly warm on the day, the team had a fantastic time taking part in this challenge. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to come together, enjoy the atmosphere of London, and most importantly raise money for such a worthwhile charity. We’d like to thank everyone who donated and supported us along the way.”
