funds for charity.
Breast cancer survivor Michael
Beck BEM, 82, is walking with
Wally Wheelbarrow and friends
on a three-mile route through
the Chalke Valley as part of a
fundraising campaign for Stars
Appeals Breast Cancer Unit.
Stars is a Salisbury District Hospital charity that helps local people across all wards and departments but
has a particular focus on cancer, cardiac
care, and children and babies. Michael, pictured, and his fundraising wheelbarrow have
already raised several thousand pounds that

have been used in various departments at the hospital.

He said: Having survived
breast cancer myself, this campaign means a great deal to me
and I want to help in any way I
can. At 82, it will certainly be a
challenge but I feel up to it and so does Wally!
If you would like to join them in
their venture, contact Will Hillary
on 01722 780271 or Andrew
Reiss on 01722 780257. It costs just 10 to
