How you can support Disability Essex

Disability Essex relies on the money it raises to help ensure the continued delivery of services to and for disabled people in Essex. The financial support we receive from Trusts, Foundations, Local Authorities and European funders cannot be guaranteed but, without this assistance, the charity could be left vulnerable and with insufficient income to assist all the people needing our support and advice.

Moonlight Colourthon 2011

...by walking in this year’s ‘Moonlight Colourthon’ to raise funds to assist Disability Essex in its work with disabled people.

Walkers of the ‘Moonlight Colourthon’ will walk a half marathon (13.1 miles) at night and are encouraged to dress as brightly as their imagination allows! This year’s event sets off from Chalkwell Park at 8.00 pm on Saturday 2 July 2011. It takes in the waterfront along Southend Seafront and Westcliff’s picturesque cliffs, overlooks the famous pleasure pier, and then travels through the Chalkwell Hall Estate, past the cottages and fishermen’s sheds of Old Leigh, returning through Leigh itself to finish back at Chalkwell Park.

The walk is only open to entrants aged 16 or over. Walkers must register and pay an entrance fee of £15 in advance and nominate their chosen charitable organisation for which they intend to raise funds. Included with the entrance fee for the ‘Moonlight Colourthon’ is an exclusive ‘Colourthon’ T-shirt to be worn with your brightest clothing!

You can register on online at www.moonlightcolourthon.co.uk (Please get in touch and let us know when you have registered). Good luck!
