CHILDREN’S CHARITY BRAINWAVE LAUNCHES 5K SPONSORED CHARITY TREASURE HUNT WALK – 21 JUNE 2011

Release Date: 17/05/2011

How often do we live for years in a particular area and yet know next to nothing about it? National children’s charity Brainwave is providing a unique opportunity for Londoners and its visitors to delve into London’s eventful past and raise money for this amazing charity at the same time.

The Charity, which develops bespoke home-based therapy and exercise programmes for children with development delay and other disabilities has launched a Charity Treasure Hunt Walk taking place in the heart of London at Sugar Quay on 21 June. Those taking part will need to search for the answers to fascinating clues following a 5K treasure trail and in the process will discover new and amazing things about London.

All the money raised will go directly to children’s charity Brainwave which has Centres in the South East, South West and North West of the UK and it will help children like Chase, a little boy who has Cerebral Palsy and who lives with his father and mother in Dulwich.

Main sponsors of this event are Emprise and the Man Group. Tony Hampson, Executive Director, Operations at Emprise comments, “We see our partnership with Brainwave as a great way to raise awareness of the important work Brainwave are doing for families like Chase’s all across the country. We enjoyed working with Brainwave over 2010 and having seen what a phenomenal contribution Brainwave makes to the families involved, we are only too pleased to show our support and make our own contribution in 2011.”

For an individual to take part it costs just £5 but Brainwave is hoping for some corporate entries that will entitle a team of 10 to have its company logo included on the event T-shirt for a total cost of just £200. There is no minimum sponsorship. To register, please contact Isobel Kerry on: T/: 07872 548 450 E/: isobelkerry@brainwave.org.uk W/: www.brainwave.org.uk/walkforkids
