This Sunday 23rd June is the 5th and last Walk for Tom. It is a walk of 20 laps around the edge of the pitch at the Valley. We will of course keep off the precious grass.
It was started in memory of Tom Warren, a fun loving, lively, cheeky and spirited 10 year old who loved music, football and supporting Charlton Athletic. He had cerebral palsy from birth but rarely let the fact he was dependent on his wheelchair get him down. Tom's favourite activity by far was riding the horses at the Charlton Park Riding for the Disabled Centre. His favourite horse was Honey.
Sadly Tom died in November 2008. Tom is much missed by his family & friends who want to keep his memory alive by raising money for Charlton Park RDA as this was a charity very close to Tom's heart.
My name is Peter James a five year season ticket holder and loyal Charlton supporter since 1969. I will be trying to complete at least 30 laps of the pitch. The forecast is rain but that wont dampen our spirits.
