Around £6,000 has been raised for the Thames Hospice after several Marlow residents took part in a charity walk.
The under 14 players from the Marlow Rugby Club, as well as their parents, embarked on the 10-mile walk in support of Cliff Giles – an MRC member who is currently battling cancer after being diagnosed this year.
Those who took part trekked from the club’s Riverwoods premises to Henley Train Station, and then back to Marlow.
The walk took place on Sunday, December 13, with all the money raised going towards the Thames Hospice.

Cliff’s wife, Corrina, said: “Our family were touched by the thought and support shown by everyone to raise over £6,000 towards a vital local charity hospice.
“A big thank you to Marlow Rugby Club and the Under 14 age group for organising.
“We hope to make it an annual event.”
Around 100 people took part in the walk, with those who participated abiding to the current two-metre social distancing rule.
The initial target was to raise £5,000 for the hospice.
