Charity walker
raises £161
A PENSIONER from Liskeard raised £161 through a sponsored walk in aid of the Woodside Animal Trust. Winnie McCoubrey, 75, of Higher Lux Street, undertook a five-mile sponsored walk in Plymouth on September 9.
She said she found some parts of the walk difficult, especially on the hard ground through woods. The Woodside Trust has a charity shop in Well Lane, Liskeard, in which Winifred takes an interest, and she says she would like to thank everyone who gave her and the Trust their support.
