A blistering feat of feet! - 27.08.2010

FUND-RAISERS at Thomas Cook’s Holiday Division office, in Playa de Las America, completed their 12km walk for the company’s Children’s Charity on Monday - with a little help from their friends.

Staff from PAL (pure authentic lambs wool blanket trip) joined them on the stroll along the front, from Arona Gran Hotel in Los Cristianos to the Costa Adeje Palace, in La Caleta.
In all, the walkers raised a grand total of over 320 euros for the kids, and completed the course much quicker than expected.
Rebecca Bennett, of Thomas Cook, said: “We started just after 5pm and expected to arrive around 7.30pm. But some of the walkers finished in 1hr 30mins and the rest of us 27 minutes later.
“We all had sore feet afterwards, and some of us were suffering with blisters the next day. But our ‘slow-motion’ run was worth it and we are all really pleased with the result.”
The gallant foot-sloggers who gave up their time for the charity were: Thomas Cook - Rebecca Bennett, Marie Fowler, Sean Edwards, Kassy Lissenden and  Sara Hook; PAL - Jayne Carfoot, Kat Thomson, Jeanette Whittington, Sarah Mawby and
Ally Morris.
