Leafy Lanes Walk
The tenth annual Leafy Lanes walk in aid of Derriford Hospital’s Oncology Unit takes place in May. Organised by David Hocking, during the past decade these lovely spring walks have raised in the region of £30,000 thanks entirely to the wonderful people who turn up to participate, enjoy the countryside around the Lydford and Bridestowe area and raise money for a fantastic cause, POOCH, Plymouth Oncology Outpatients and Chemotherapy.
Pooch recently presented a cheque to the radiotherapy centre at Derriford for £12,500, towards four breast boards.
David Hocking said: ‘This year’s special guest is Mark Radmore. I met Mark along with the Tavistock Young Farmers on two separate occasions, each time as their chosen charity for the year. I cannot speak highly enough of Tavistock YFC and their amazing fundraising efforts - to date, they have raised £4,000 on behalf of POOCH.
‘The official starter this year is Thomas Perkins of Coryton. Thomas gave true brotherly support to his sister Amy, who was last year’s walk starter. Thomas gained this year’s role on merit.’
Leafy Lanes is sponsored by the White Hart at Bridestowe and Sisters Hair and Beauty, Tavistock. The start time on Sunday, May 13th is 11am - registration from 10am. There is a choice of three or six mile circular routes, which start and finish at the White Hart. Registration £4 adults, £2 under 16s, £1 per dog.
