Walkers laced up their shoes and joined the Mayor of North East Lincolnshire, Cllr Marian Boyd, for a sponsored walk along the Cleethorpes seafront, helping to raise £375 for her chosen charities, Bob’s Brainwaves and the RNLI.
The event saw supporters gather at St Anthony’s Bank before setting off along the promenade to Cleethorpes Leisure Centre. Covering just over a mile, the walk offered a chance for local people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the coastline while supporting two worthwhile causes.
Funds raised will be shared between Bob’s Brainwaves, which supports people living with dementia and their families, and the RNLI, whose volunteers help save lives at sea through lifeboat search and rescue, lifeguards, water safety and education.
The Mayor thanked everyone who took part and donated to the event.
Cllr Boyd said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the walk and to those who generously sponsored participants. Raising £375 for my chosen charities is a fantastic result and every penny will help support the important work they do.
“It was wonderful to see people come together, enjoy our beautiful coastline and show their support for two causes that mean a great deal to me.”
The Mayor has been supporting Bob’s Brainwaves and the RNLI throughout her mayoral year through a range of fundraising events and activities.
