We were recently joined on the show by Anne Hodgson, who is the Community Fundraiser for the Walton Centre Charity. Anne was on the Island especially to support a number of people who were raising funds for the centre by taking part in the Parish Walk.
She was invited by the family of one young woman, Katie Holmes, who has spent almost a year as an inpatient at Walton following a serious car accident. Christy was able to spend a short time in the company of 21 year old Katie and her mum, Yvonne, to find out a little more about their story and how the Centre has helped them. After the Parish Walk weekend, we received this wonderful message from Yvonne: “The walkers did very well in difficult conditions! Jeff finished at Peel, Rob stopped at Jurby and the joint total raised by the two of them for the Walton Centre is around £1500 - with thanks as well to the customers of Motor Mall, whose customers also contributed and who provided the support car for Yvonne to drive.
