Tablers tackle South Downs Way
A group of hardy ex and current Haslemere Round Tablers took on the South Downs Way in support of Prostate UK in memory of their friend Tim Rix, an ex Haslemere Tabler in his 50's, who sadly died from prostate cancer earlier this year.
The TREaD team. TREaD stands for Tony Bennett, Roger Croucher, Ed Jenner and David Bennett.
The wonderful support and generous donations they received from their families, friends and local businesses encouraged them as they tramped for five days in foul weather with strong winds and heavy rain. Not what was expected in July! We should also mention their wives, who not only ferried them to and fro but also were on call to cover emergencies.
Commenting on their eventful journey, team leader Ed Jenner said, 'We literally battled wind and rain for most of the 80 miles, but it was worth the effort, both as a tribute to Tim and to raise much needed funds for research into prostate cancer. This is a far more common disease than is realised with up to 30% of men over 50 having histological evidence of prostate cancer'.
Thanks so much to all of the team who managed to raise an amazing £3,500!
