Big C Walk of Thoughts 2009
This year's Walk of Thoughts will take place on Sunday 28th June 2009 and will follow last year's beautiful route around Fritton Lake, starting and ending near Fritton House Hotel.
The 6 mile route takes you through woodland, fields and meadows and is a tranquil setting to remember and support those loved ones and friends affected by cancer. It is a stunning, family friendly, cross country route with a very special atmosphere. Unfortunately the route is not suitable for pushchairs as it is uneven in places.
If you would like to join us this year please email enquiries@big-c.co.uk or call 01603 619900 and we will send you out an entry form and further details. Alternatively you can download the form here and return to us at Big C, 10a Castle Meadow, Norwich, NR1 3DE.
We hope to see as many of you as possible this year!

Walking Together to Support and Remember

Entrants were given a commemorative ribbon to wear and those who wished to, made special dedications to those they were walking for on a dedication tree located at the end of the walk.
Many moving dedications were left this year. One from a boy walking for his nana wrote, "Keep fighting and I love you", another dedication read, "Life is too short - we need to live it for them". To read all the dedications left at the tree this year, click here.

I would like to thank all those who marshalled and walked with such spirit and enthusiasm and made it such a poignant and touching event and who, in raising sponsorship for their efforts, help us to continue our important work funding complete care for cancer patients locally".
