A FUNDRAISING walk in picturesque north Kent countryside was completed by 180 charity-minded trekkers.

Money was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support in a sponsored three or eight mile stroll from Cobham Hall around Luddesdown on Sunday, May 6.

Families took part, even bringing their dogs. The fastest eight-miler was 12-year-old Jacob Gawel who completed the course in two hours and 25 minutes.

Kent Fundraising Manager, Moira Mitchell, said: “The Macmillan Luddesdown Walk was a fantastic event and everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves. Hopefully we’ve raised approximately £17,000 from this one day and every penny will be used wisely to help people living with cancer.”
