STAFF at a care home in Redditch have pledged to walk a combined 650 miles throughout October to raise funds for breast cancer.
The team at Millcroft Care Home is raising cash for Breast Cancer Now, a charity which provides vital research, support, and resources for people living with breast cancer.
For many of Millcroft’s residents, colleagues, and their families, the cause is close to the heart and the walk offers an opportunity to come together as a community to raise awareness, honour loved ones and contribute towards life-changing research and care.
Each day, steps will be tracked and added together, building towards the home’s target distance.
The team has set a fundraising target of £500.
Home manager Lyndsay Shard said: “We’re really proud to be taking part in this challenge for Breast Cancer Now during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“It’s a cause that touches so many lives, including those of our residents, colleagues and their families, so it feels very meaningful to us.
“Our walk is not only about raising money for vital research and support, but also about bringing our community together, celebrating our residents’ life stories, and showing the positive things we can achieve when we walk side by side.”
