THE next event organised by Exeter Leukaemia Fund’s Crediton Group will be “David’s Walk” on Sunday, September 4.

David Hobbs, a retired maths professor, died in May following a long battle with leukaemia and loved walking.

Every September David organised a charity walk for ELF through Shobrooke Park and members of the Crediton Group have decided to continue the walk in his name as “David’s Walk”.

Everyone is welcome to go along for the 2.15pm start at Crediton Football Club. The walk is approximately four miles long and dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead.

There will be cream teas and cakes at the clubhouse and a raffle.

Entry is £5 with under 16’s free.

All proceeds will go to ELF which supports the work of the Haematology Centre at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

The Centre treats the regions blood cancer victims, performs bone marrow transplants and conducts research into the causes and treatment of the disease.
