Award winning fundraiser Jonny Burnard has set off on his next sponsored walk from Saltash to Land’s End raising money for the Little Harbour hospice. Jonny, 15, is completing his walk with his dad Andy and his Grandad Terry. The Three Burnard’s had already raised £4,000 when Sheryll Murray MP started them off on their 110 mile journey at the Celtic Cross.
The walk titled ‘Walk with Pride’ was launched in 2013 when he decided Jonny wanted to do this, his third walk, on home turf. He was keen to raise money for the Little Harbour Hospice which provides hospice care for life-limited children.
They have fundraised for The Walk With Pride through many avenues including through Callington Methodist Table Tennis Club, Tesco’s, St Mellion International Resort, Co-op, the Bull’s Head and of course the Lions where Andy is currently President of the Callington branch.
Jonny has been recognised nationally for his fundraising efforts when he received a certificate from the Prime Minister and a Diana award Silver Pin from x-factor star Hannah Barrett.
At the start of the walk Sheryll said, “I really must congratulate Jonny and his family on the fantastic efforts they have undertaken. I know that Little Harbour will make fantastic use of this money in the care of those who need it.” Sheryll is currently President of the Palace of Westminster Lions Club.
