Home DBD InSite Bringing you insight into DBD DBD Charity Event – Walk for Life September 21, 2018 DBD Events, General, Hot Topics On Friday 7th September DBD arranged a Charity Walk of 20 miles in Hertfordshire with more of the team joining at the 15 mile point for the last 5 miles. This was all in aid of the fantastic charity EHAAT- Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust, a cause close to our hearts. 32 were eager to start bright and early meeting in the Marchmont Car park. It was a perfect morning with a crisp bright start followed by a cool breeze and sunshine all day, perfect walking conditions! This well suited the beautiful route through some of Hertfordshire’s prettiest areas, including the Grand Union Canal, Boxmoor and Ashridge Park. We were met at the 5/10/15 mile markers by Mike Taylor and his lovely assistant Jean with drinks and goodies to see us through. What a welcomed site it was to all when we reached the gruelling 15 mile mark to be welcomed by the rest of our team also. 16 very enthusiastic colleagues cheered us on as we regrouped and topped up on fuel, ready to face the final 5 miles. Despite back pain, leg pains and some nasty blisters the morale of the team was incredible from start to finish, we were so impressed with their pure determination and constant smiles! Thank you to all who took part, we honestly are so proud of you all, it was a great day and one we hope to repeat in the future!
