Andrew Lockwood and a team from Kimberworth Striders will run 20 miles from Sheffield's Children Hospital to Rockingham CC then Back to the hospital while the rest of us will walk the 10 miles from Rockingham to the Hospital.
This is a joint Fundraiser between the 2 organisations,with the Cricket Club looking to raise money for the building of a new scoreboard and The Children's Hospital looking to upgrade Theatre's.
As most of you are aware one of our own junior player's Owen Wilkinson had his life saved by the remarkable people at the hospital after he suffered a fractured skull and a severe bleed in October 2011. The Charity is looking to raise money for their theatres, therefore we thought this was a worthy cause and something close to our hearts.

We hope that all player's, supporters and junior parents would join us on this walk to continue backing your Community Cricket Club as well as a worthy Charity. Meeting at Rockingham at 12.45pm the walk will commence at 1pm with Andrew Lockwood setting off from the Children's Hospital at the same time.

We are looking at a Non Stop Cricket event for Junior members's to participate in and this will be confirmed in the near future.
Wilky can we go via Thorpe Hensley it's only way I know lol
Where on earth is Thorpe Hensley and if we walked through there how far would it make the walk?
How do we get back from the hospital? Dial 999?
Kev - if I was at a hospital and we dialled 999 would the amulance drive round to the other side of the car park and then they take us back inside?
I was thinking of asking one from Barnsley to come.
Top work lads. Let's get behind this one. I'll be with the walking group....!!
I'll drive along side cheering you on
Still looking for volunteers to come with me! Anyone fancy a little jog?
