Mobility Walk along sea front

MOBILITY WALK’S MASS WHEELCHAIR PUSH

On Sunday 9th June Bexhill Rotary Club invited wheelchair users and walkers to get involved with the Mobility Walk Challenge along the Promenade and Seafront of Bexhill all in the aid of charity.

It all kicked off in bright sunshine, albeit I trifle cool for this time of the year, at the appointed time of 10 a.m. Although the number of actual walkers was in short supply, residents from Bay House Nursing Home in Bexhill (www.bayhousecare.co.uk) decided to give it a real go and came up trumps with a mass wheelchair push. Everybody who took part ended up having a wail of time and it was all smiles by the end of the morning’s activities with many thanking Bexhill Rotarians for organising such a fun event.

Bexhill Rotarian John Copper who was heavily involved with organising the event summed things up by saying, “This was a marvellous event and a brilliant way to have some fun.” He continued, “Our thanks go to Bay House Nursing Home for not only sponsoring the morning but also for providing such a willing band of happy people to take part with their wheelchairs. I think it was a great advert for both Rotary and Bay House.”
