In what has become one of the most anticipated dates in the pub groups calendar, Saturday 13th July saw 400 guests join the Almond family for their 10^th One Small Step Pub Walk.

The Stockport pub company has four pubs in the area which are each visited along the scenic 10 mile walk. Starting at the Fletchers Arms in Denton, stopping off at the Spread Eagle, Puss in Boots and finishing the day with a celebration party at the Jolly Sailor in Davenport with a bouncy castle, raffle and much more.

As well as being a fun filled day the event’s main purpose is to raise money for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK (FPWR UK), a charity close to the family’s hearts due to company director Vicki Williams’ daughter being diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) at just 2 weeks old. Bella, now 11, joined the droves for the second half of the walk and was delighted to be joined by six other friends from the PWS community.

Prader-Willi Syndrome is rare, with only 1 in 20,000 children being born with it in the UK every year, meaning events such as these are so important as they raise awareness of the syndrome, help build communities and of course raise money for research to help improve the lives of those living with it.

Vicki Williams said, “Over the 10 years we’ve been holding this event, it’s grown and grown. We had record numbers this year and we were pleased to see many new walkers as well as some who have joined us on every event.

“Our fundraising from Saturday currently stands at £14,500, which is just incredible! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event what it is.”

The £14,000 raised this weekend brings total fundraising in Bella’s name for the charity to £167,000.

Every year, Marie Eaton (our Finance Manager) takes on a new challenge to raise well-needed funds and awareness for the Foundation of Prader-Willi Research UK (FPWR UK). The charity is one that is close to our hearts as it provides funds for research into Prader-Willi Syndrome, which our director, Vicki William’s daughter was diagnosed with at 2 weeks old.

This year was no different.

On the 27th April, Marie gathered over 30 team members and friends of Almond Family Pubs and triumphed over the Born Survivor’s mud-fuelled, assault course. This wasn’t just a regular mud-run, we’re talking about a gruelling (but oh-so-rewarding) 10k obstacle course designed by Royal Marine commandos, featuring mud, sweat, and probably a few tears.

So far, the team has raised an amazing £2,875, up and over their original goal!
This money is vital for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research UK, so that they can continue with research projects that will eliminate the challenges that PWS presents.

Marie is a regular fundraiser for FPWR UK and we are so grateful for her commitment and fundraising… We wonder what she will do next year?

The day will include a pub pit stop at the Spread Eagle, lunch at the Puss in Boots, and finishing with a celebration party at the Jolly Sailor.

There will be a raffle, DJ, bouncy castle & more…

We really hope to see some familiar faces there again, as well as many new walkers. We would love you to invite friends and family and help us make the 10^th event even more memorable!
