Matt's fundraiser for ARC
Matt Waters will be walking the 5km course of Seaton parkrun alongside a host of people running in the weekly event. If you are thinking that there is nothing noteworthy about this, think again, as this will be the longest walk he's attempted since losing both his legs to sepsis in November 22'.
We are super grateful that Matt has decided to raise money for Arc. Click on the link and read all about Matt's story and please donate and support if you can.
Good luck Matt!

Cathy Parsons is one of the counsellors at ARC AXMINSTER and she is dedicating her annual holiday to raise funds for ARC.
Cathy and her husband go walking with every year, usually in Scotland,but this year have decided to walk the St. Cuthberts way in Northumberland. St. Cuthbert was one of the early christians, and he eventually became Bishop of Lindisfarne.
So what better way to go than as he would have done, on foot, and what better place to start than where he first started his ministering, from Melrose, in the Scottish borders. The St.Cuthbert's Way is now a popular walk of a 100km, that usually takes between 5 and 7 days. They are walking "out of season", we may well have the challenge of some of England's most inhospitable weather!
Cathy said " We all need purpose in our lives, so raising money for ARC,(as an unfit lady past middle age!), seems like a great way to spend my holiday.
I plan to walk every day for the 7 days that we are there, and try and raise £2000 for ARC's ongoing great work for the community of Axminster.
To this end I would love you to go to our Just Giving page and donate whatever you can"
