Andy Nation raises funds for the Herts MS Therapy Centre
TEDDINGTON TO CALAIS – 30 JUNE 2012
The swimmer from Knebworth, Andy Nation, is preparing for another gargantuan challenge following his successful 147 mile swim of the non-tidal River Thames in 2005. He now plans to start from where he finished the last swim at Teddington, West London, through the centre of London to Southend, then around the Kent coast to Dover and finally across the English Channel to Calais. Again, the distance is 147 miles.
And just to make the task even harder, he has set a fund-raising target of £1,000,000 for charity. You can read all the details of the swim at www.teddingtontocalais2012.org.uk and how he plans to make that target.

Heald Solicitors support the Herts MS Therapy Centre
Extra Mile raised money again last year by cycling a 500 mile route in France. The Challenge took the teams from the heart of France, through the vineyards of Burgundy and onto the foothills of the Alps, finishing at the lakeside capital of the haute Savoie region, Annecy.

Sainsbury’s Marshalswick Continues to support the Herts MS Therapy Centre.
The Herts Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre has received another donation from Sainsbury’s Marshalswick Petrol Station. This year the Marshalswick Petrol Station has donated £3,097.00 from collections taken in store. Add this to their donation last year of £2,048.00 making a grand total of £5,145.00.
We would like to thank the manager Tim Kidd and his staff for allowing Ian Bangs, who is one of our MS members to hold collections on their premises. Ian, who lives in St Albans has MS himself. He is our star volunteer when it comes to collections, no doubt you will have seen him at various locations in the area.

There are so many ways in which you can help raise funds for the Centre..
Sponsored events – such as the Virgin London Marathon – or if you’re not a hardened runner – the much less scary Lee Valley Fun Run or the Adidas Women’s Challenge in Hyde Park we receive thousands each year.
