Saturday is World Down Syndrome Awareness Day.
As everyone knows, Charlton's Community Trust has been running a successful and supportive Down Syndrome programme (Charlton Upbeats) for a number of years.
We've been proud that CL has been linked with the Upbeats right from the start; Our members on here played a huge part in securing the initial funding, the provision of kit and equipment, and ongoing fundraising.It is not a cheap programme to maintain, but it's a worthwhile one.
On Saturday morning dozens / hundreds of us will be doing an 8 mile fundraising walk from Sparrows Lane to The Valley (It's NOT too late to take register and take part, it's only a tenner, and you get to walk with Bolder, Rufus, Webbo, Leaburn and Katrien).
However, the point is to fund raise. At the moment the total is well below the target. Yesterday it was boosted by around a £1k, mainly looking down the list through generous members on here.
Can we take it further?
Can we raise an extra £1k in one day and get the target to its halfway point?
Not everyone has the means to keep contributing to things, but if you are in the position to put a very small amount this way, any contribution (big or small) would be hugely appreciated. On Saturday, the Upbeats will once again be at The Valley, and I'm sure once again the enjoyment they get from this scheme will light up the whole ground.
Come on guys, one small contribution to the link below. If you have friends, family, colleagues you think may help support in a small way, please put the Just Giving address there way today.
£1k Friday. Can we collectively do it?

I'm really sorry that I'm not able to walk tomorrow, but I've just put in a tenner each for the dozen who are. £120 added. Good luck all and thanks for representing CL in such a good cause.AFKABartram said:

Please add £250 from Clearwater Marine Foundation. Unfortunately it can only pay by cheque so I can't register the donation on the Just Giving Site.
Well done the red and white walkers....5 -

Amazing donations there. Excellent work everyone.0

I'd like to do the walk as it is a good cause but as a non local attending alone it simply is not practical re the logistics of parking etc.0

We have some unbelievably generous members on here, thank you all for your contributions, whether 1905 or AFKA size (big or small).
With the cheque pledge, we have smashed our CL Friday target before 10am!!
If we can do that in two hours, surely we can double it by the end of the day? The overall pledge is still at only around 50% it's target.
Keep doing us proud peeps, and thank you
