The challenge was to raise funds to buy blankets and food for our local foodbanks at Christmas 2022. This was achieved by walking 2 or 3 miles per day, or sometimes 5 or 6 miles, if days had been missed. The duration for the walk was\u00a0 from January 1<sup>st<\/sup> 2022 to November 12<sup>th<\/sup> 2022 with a target of \u00a3300 to be raised. The \u00a3300 would be donated to Foodbanks in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Cris did complete her walk on November 12<sup>th<\/sup> while away on holiday. However, with all the help, support and donations from Soroptimists \u00a0families , friends and Soroptimists in our club and SI Durham, a magnificent amount of\u00a0 \u00a3700 was achieved. Club members Lis Graham, Kath Shearer and Christine Tomkins also contributed by walking virtually from Lands\u2019 End to John O Groats. Lis raised \u00a3200 of the \u00a3700 raised.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5347.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5747\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5347-279x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5347-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5347.jpg 953w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5348.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5745\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5348-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5348-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/IMG-5348.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cris with Councillor Sonya Dickie (who manages the Food Bank) and her assistant Angela.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dawn, of Eastend Women,taking a delivery of blankets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/58EF66C5-0920-4F07-886A-4A148391697F.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5748\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/58EF66C5-0920-4F07-886A-4A148391697F-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/58EF66C5-0920-4F07-886A-4A148391697F-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/58EF66C5-0920-4F07-886A-4A148391697F.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/unnamed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5746\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/unnamed-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/unnamed-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/newcastle-upon-tyne\/files\/2022\/12\/unnamed.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>Blankets dropped off at West End Food Bank<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cris would like to thank everyone who donated to this worthwhile project.
