OCT 2016 – SPONSORED WALK – A group of us are attempting a 100km walk in Tuscany this Autumn to raise funds for a wonderful charity called Aiaba. http://www.aiaba.it
English version and to donate: https://www.retedeldono.it/en/search/AIABA
Aiaba is a special school in Florence for children with Autism. Their future aim is to provide long term residential care for the young people as they grow up to become adults and still need support. This is going to be a major task to finance. We would very much like to raise funds for this worthy cause. Indira (Graffius) and Piero’s middle boy is 21 now and he has been all the way through Aiaba and he now needs the school more than ever – especially the residential facility yet to exist.
Indira and Piero live near to a wonderful Pilgrims’ walk in Tuscany called the Via Francigena (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Francigena) which is split into daily sections. We are booked into accommodation along the route for 4 days (17th – 20th Oct). We aim to walk from San Miniato to Siena – approx 100km. Please see on noticeboard at the back of the church the SPONSORED WALK FAMILY PICTURES. Thank you.
