Social walk success in Mexborough

MARATHON man Tommy Joyce hailed his first social walk around Mexborough a great success — and called for more people to join the next outing this weekend.

The first Walking with Tommy stroll included Mexborough, Adwick-on-Dearne and the banks of the River Don on its six-mile route on Sunday morning.

Dedicated fundraiser Tommy said: “It was great to see some eager faces early on a Sunday morning to join me for a steady and enjoyable walk around our local community. 

“We had a lovely bunch of people out on our first walking session and I look forward to welcoming many more over the coming weeks.”

The walks will be held every Sunday, starting at the old school entrance on Maple Road at 9am.
