Macmillan Mighty Hike (again)
Yes, I'm doing it again! On July 16th I shall be walking 26 miles along the Thames Path from Windsor to Marlow - hoping for a cooler day this time than last year... Training is going well, up to 22 miles already.

My father has been undergoing cancer treatment for some time now. Dedicated Macmillan Nurses have been with him from Day1 and continue to support him through the latest rounds of treatment, and we are hugely indebted to them for their ongoing support. Please remember him in your prayers.

With the easing of the pandemic Macmillan is looking for every possible avenue to fundraise to support their nurses, who give unstintingly of their time and expertise to assist those with cancer. Statistics tell us that 1 in 2 of us will experience the disease in our lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored me last time, and I'd like to call on your generosity again this time please, as cancer doesn't stop. And if you didn't sponsor me last time - now's your chanceEmoji Any sponsorship, no matter how small, will be gratefully received. The JustGiving link is below, donations can be Gift Aided.

ST PATRICK'S DAY
KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH OUR PARISHIONERS
Members of our Social Committee along with other volunteers put together beautiful 'Afternoon Tea' boxes and delivered them to some of our most vulnerable and isolated parishioners. One of these parishioners described the box as an 'Alladin's Cave' filled with treats. All of this was done in line with COVID restrictions ensuring the safety of the team and the recipients.
Photos are:

THANK YOU TEAM AND VERY WELL DONE INDEED.
YOU SPREAD JOY AND HOPE WITH THIS
