SOME of Hartford Care’s most intrepid team members took on a gruelling 16-mile walk from its Belford House care home in Four Marks, Alton to Tegfield House in Winchester, in aid of the operator’s chosen charity of the year; Matt Hampson Foundation.
The Matt Hampson Foundation is dedicated to supporting people who have suffered life-changing injuries through sport, through expert physiotherapy, specialist personal training, support, mentoring and advice, inspiring them to get busy living again.
Team members Sarah, Hannah, Emma, Jenny, Katie, Keeley and Maddy from Tegfield House and Woodlands House in Woodlands, Southampton, put on their walking shoes and trekked the 16 miles between the two Hampshire homes.
Sarah Robertson, home manager at Tegfield House, said: “I am so proud of the team for keeping each other going and completing the walk.
“It certainly had its challenges – originally planned for around 12 miles, it actually ended up being 16 miles.
“While some of us struggled with pain or blisters, our laughter and moral support kept us going throughout and helped us achieve this fabulous feat for this year’s chosen charity.”
