RRT provide refreshments along 32-mile trek for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices
On Saturday 6th July, RRT was very glad to support The Norfolk ‘Pier to Pier’ Challenge – a mammoth 32-mile trek from Great Yarmouth to Cromer Pier in aid of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).
The team provided much needed refreshment pit stops and a midway burger meal along the Norfolk Coastal Path route.
In total, the day raised around £10,000 for this hugely worthy cause. Many congratulations to everyone who took part and to everyone who supported the participants on the day.
