AUTUMN NEWS 2013 ST JULIA’S HOSPICE PRESENTATION AT THE COPPICE INN A cheque for £835 was handed over to St Julia’s executive Iris Broughton on Thursday night at the Coppice in Lanner. The cheque represents funds raised from Robin Moore and locals who have helped support his charity work. An auction evening on Saturday 26th October was held at the Coppice, partly in support of Robin’s recent walk of Europe see robin-moore.co.uk (another cheque for £500 raised from the walk will be handed over to Cancer Research UK on 8th November), and the local rugby club who have just began their first season. The total raised was £1100 which was shared between the hospice and Lanner Rugby Club. There were numerous lovely prizes donated for the event and the Rugby Club were fantastic in the support and energy they gave during the evening. Earlier in the year (the previous bank holiday), Robin walked the Gwennap section of the Cornwall Pilgrimage with companions Alan Smith and Elaine Crayford who between them raised over £300. Robin also delivered a hundred donation leaflets (amounts from this not yet known) throughout the entire length of the pilgrimage which took 5 days to complete, finishing at Launceston. Visit the above website for details about the Cornwall Pilgrimage and walking/cycle guides. We now hope to further develop these projects and continue our fundraising for local charities at the Coppice. We have just launched MOVEMBER and invite the public to join in a bit of fun growing a moustache for the month. Robin who has walked over 26,000 miles for charity over a 21 year period now hopes to finish a tour of Australasia having walked 6,000km of the continent. Earlier in the year he walked Arthur’s Pass and the West Coast of New Zealand; As well as his pilgrimages which have become public trails for all to explore, he has also completed two tours of Europe (he has walked around the British Isles and is now walking around Europe). In addition to his walking guides he has published books about his travels and painted many pictures/book covers relating to his adventures. ‘All in all I am just grateful for all the help and hard work from Lisa and co at the Coppice, the Rugby Club and my friends in the Gwennap Region who have backed me throughout my time as a charity activist. Lisa has worked extremely hard on fundraising events; earlier in the Spring she organised a fundraiser for a local lady with cancer which realised over £10,000 for the cause. Well done everybody and thank you for all your hard work and commitment.’ robin-moore.co.uk
