Walk for Life

Every year we join Crusaid’s ‘Walk for Life’, a 10 km walk around London passing some of the great sights of the city. It is a great day out and a chance to meet fellow supporters as well as raise sponsorship for CWAC. For further information, please contact peter@cwac.org.

A Supporter who did the Walk For Life wrote:

“3500 people turned out for the Annual Walk for Life, a 10km trek from South Bank through the heart of London to the Honourable Artillery Company Grounds in Moorgate, to finish with a party that included live music and a fun fair.

CWAC’s 14 strong team of intrepid walkers were there, armed with one thermos between them and blister cream. We walked through packed streets, drank a lot of tea and burned many calories.

As the picturesque sights of London passed by and we appreciated the majesty of the spiralling metropolis around us, we were all extremely proud of the amount of support behind this important event. The organisers did not anticipate the sheer number of people from all over the country who would attend.

This shows a growing nationwide support structure of people willing to help those living with HIV/AIDS. On the day, £305,000 was raised with more pledged money trickling in. The money will be distributed amongst Crusaid’s core services, with a small percentage coming to CWAC, as part of their charity team scheme.

A huge thank you to all at Crusaid and a heartfelt well done to all 3,500 people who took part, blisters and all! Special mention goes to our won dedicated CWAC team who managed to raise over £1000!”
