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.
