The Childrens Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) does a wonderful job supporting Scottish children who have life limiting conditions and their families. They have two childrens hospices, Rachel House in Kinross and Robin House in Balloch offering respite care, crisis care, terminal care and bereavement support. They have very little access to public funds and are therefore very dependent on the generosity of the public for the 5 million plus per year to run their services.
To help this very worthy cause St Leonards Church, on behalf of all the churches in St Andrews, is organising a sponsored walk from Guardbridge to St Andrews following the old pilgrim route to the Cathedral on St Andrews Day (Monday 30th November 2009). Participants will make their own way to Guardbridge by public transport and gather at the west end of the old bridge, built over 500 years ago to allow pilgrims to cross the River Eden safely, and will be led off at 9.15am, accompanied by stewards, along the cycle track on the four mile walk to the Cathedral. On reaching the Cathedral a kind invitation has been extended by Holy Trinity Church for those pilgrims who wish to make their way thereafter to Holy Trinity to arrive during the St Andrews Day service to be welcomed as an exprssion of faith in action. Mrs Irene Ford, a voluntary fundraiser for CHAS, will hold a meeting in St Leonards Church Hall on Wednesday 18th November 2009 at 7.00pm to talk about the work of CHAS and distribute sponsor forms to which all are invited. If you would like to take part but are unable to attend the meeting please email your name and address to stlencam@btconnect.com or phone 01334 478702 (Mon. 9am-12noon; Tue.-Fri. 9.30am-12.30pm) and a sponsor form will be delivered to you.
