RAMFEL Thames Path 100km Challenge
Organised by Refugee & Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL)Sponsor TEAM RAMFEL to walk 100km along the Thames Path (12th and 13th September 2015)
Story
On the 12th September at 9.00am Team RAMFEL will set out from Putney Bridge as they take part in the Thames Pathway Challenge. The aim is to get to Henley-on-Thames 100km, (62.14 miles) away 24 hours later.
Last year, RAMFEL Chief Exec Rita Chadha walked alone and made it to 87km before she was advised to come off due to a stress fracture. This year Rita will be joined by Fiona, Hannah, Jenny and Russell to take on the challenge. With five people taking part this year any injured team members can be carried over the line.
The team are putting themselves through this gruelling challenge to raise funds for the work RAMFEL does in Essex and London. In addition to on-going support the money will also be used to provide essential service such as the foodbank, replacement ID documents and urgent travel money.
