100 miles to mark 100 years
LOCAL man and Chairman of Southport
Hesketh Round Table, Dean Wilson (46) has set members of Southport Hesketh Round
Table a challenge to cycle 100 miles from Southport Monument to the National
Memorial Arboretum
Dean recently discovered his great grandfather fought at the Somme and
Passchendaele and since its 100 years since this battle , he wanted to raise
money for the Royal British Legion .
Dean says:- "We aim to raise 1917 pounds and are very grateful to have
received sponsorship from our friends family and local people of over ₤1000 so
far, It would be wonderful if we could hit our target for the Legion "
You can show your support via donating on his
Just Giving
page.
Dean is joined by Dan Hubbard (vice chairman) and Chris Green (Treasurer) in
cycling the 100 miles from Southport Monument to the National Memorial arboretum
in Staffordshire.
The challenge starts at 8.00am, on Saturday, 23 September 2027 and they hope to arrive in time
for the Sunday Service, at 11.00am, on Sunday, 24 Sep 2017.
Apart from this event every year members of Southport Hesketh Round Table raise
thousands of pounds for local good causes through their events (Southport
Charity Bonfire and Fireworks at Victoria Park, Mad Dog 10k run and our popular
Santa Sleigh). They've recently donated over ₤7000 to local good causes and are
looking for local men aged 18 to 45 to get involved via visiting the Southport
Hesketh Round Table's
website.
