This year’s event attracted over 50 percent more walkers than last year, a good indication that this is a welcome addition to the community’s annual calendar.”Added Argus Group president Gerald Simons: “The concept of letting individual walkers decide which charity to support is a strong one. It means that some of the lesser known and smaller charities can benefit without having to cover the overheads of organising their own fundraising event.”Useful websites: www.volunteer.bm, www.argus.bm.
