Stratford-on-Avon District Council's chairman, Councillor Vince Seaman, is joining Sir Ian Botham in Stratford District to raise awareness and money for Leukaemia Research.

For the first time members of the public will be able to join Beefy in exchange for sponsorship as he walks to help cancer charity Leukaemia Research.

Beefy will walk in Stratford-upon-Avon where the public can join him for a four-mile walk through the beautiful deer park at Charlecote House on Thursday 14 October.

Stratford-on-Avon District Council's Chairman, Councillor Vince Seaman said, "A worthy cause and a beautiful walk, what could be better! Join Sir Ian Botham on 14 October and help raise money for research into a childhood cancer."
Sir Ian, President of Leukaemia Research, says, "In 1985, when I first started walking to raise funds for Leukaemia Research, the survival rate for children with leukaemia was 20 percent now the survival rate is 80 percent. Join me on my 2008 walk and together we will help beat this terrible disease. I am determined to see all children survive in my lifetime."
