Cagefoot Lane, Sunday 21 October, 2pm
At BN5 we have been aware of the great work of the Brain Tumour Charity since Olivia Pugh, who owns Hamfelds in Henfield High Street, was diagnosed last year. Olivia’s pledge has always been to raise as much awareness and funds for this charity as possible. She told us that she wanted to walk the South Downs Way for the Brain Tumour Charity, but sadly she has become too ill to do this, so we have decided to walk on her behalf to fulfil her wishes. Please join us and show your support to Olivia and the Brain Tumour Charity as they battle this horrible disease.
The Walks
There will be two community walks running simultaneously:
1 The Twittens Walk
Approximate distance 1km (2/3 mile) taking around 15 mins.
2 The Cross-Country Walk
It’s around 7km (4.3miles) and will take around 1½-2 hours to walk
What happens next?
Henfield Joggers are planning to run the cross-country route so if you’re feeling more energetic you are welcome to join them!
where there will be a live band, with further fundraising for the Brain Tumour Charity from 5.30pm.
Who can join?
Everyone! This is very much a community walk and everyone is welcome, come along as a group or on your own, all ages are welcome. Please wear red if you can, and bring some money with you for tea, cake, beer and hotdogs afterwards, every penny goes to the Brain Tumour Charity!
How do I raise money?
See the next page for details of how to fundraise. There is no obligation to do so of course.
Which route should I choose?
Please choose the route that suits your health and physical ability. This is a relaxed and informal event, please take responsibility for your own welfare. There are no medical facilities and no water stops until the end of the walk.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes you can. Well behaved dogs are welcome (on leads at all times, and only if your dog is friendly in large groups and with other dogs).

If you would like to fundraise please email emma@bn5magazine.co.uk and we will create a Just Giving team for you. You will get a Brain Tumour Charity t-shirt to wear (just let us know the size you’d like) and a medal at the end of the walk.
However, there is no obligation to fundraise, you can just turn up and Walk for Olivia on the day.
