Wheel and Walk at Hinchingbrooke Sunday 28th June

The Wheel & Walk at Hinchingbrooke Country Park took place in glorious sunshine on Sunday 28 June. About 140 people took part in the event on three routes of 2 miles, 3 miles and 6 miles. The crowd were entertained by a local band and display majorettes while there was a barbecue, bouncy castle, face painting and numerous stalls run by the local MS Society branches. There were also guest appearances by gymnast Louis Smith, who won a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics, Jonathan Djanogly, MP for Huntingdon, and Saeed Akhtar, mayor of Huntingdon.
The MS Society would like to thank Tony Collett for organising Wheel & Walk at Hinchingbrooke Country Park. Tony's hard work made this a fantastic event and everybody at the MS Society is extremely grateful for his support.
