60 year old walks 60km in a day to raise £6,000

On 5th July 2022, local man Derek Owen is turning 60, and to celebrate he will be walking 60 km (37.3 miles) on a route around South Pembrokeshire. He will be accompanied by Lydia May from The Three Mariners, Tenby and they aim to raise £6000 for Paul Sartori Foundation.

The Pembrokeshire based Hospice at Home charity was chosen as it was close to both Derek and Lydia’s hearts. Paul Sartori Foundation provided care for Keith May, Derek's friend, Lydia's Dad, late Landlord of The Three Mariners pub.

The charity walk will be starting at Tojaz, Stepaside and finishing at The Three Mariners. They will be commencing at 6am on the 5th July and hoping to finish around 8pm, this will be followed by a 60's disco, and live music from the Sleeping Dogs, they will also have a charity raffle and a bottle cap draw.

Please check out their Just Giving page and support them if you can:
