LONDON MOON WALK – Mary Thomas and her daughter Karla from St. Bernard’s and Teresa Ruttley from OLSP are participating in the London Moon Walk on 13th May 2017. It’s the length of a full marathon (26.2 miles) and takes place at night. They are raising money for Breast Cancer. Mary and Teresa both work together at the Queen Victoria Hospital as Twilight Nurses and have known each other for many years. Having worked with cancer patients both felt supporting this Charity was a great cause and it is a one off event. If you would like to sponsor us please either see us after mass or use our online links. Thank you.
