Best Foot Forward


A MONMOUTHSHIRE schoolgirl put her best foot forward at the weekend to raise money for the Welsh children´s cancer charity, Latch.
Ten-year-old Robyn Evans, a pupil at Rogiet Primary School, took part in the glow walk on Saturday.
This was a walk around Caerleon starting from Caerleon Comprehensive School which saw around 500 people taking part.
Organiser of the glow walk, Helen Beveridge, said they are now on target to raising around £6,000 for this charity once all the sponsorship comes in.
She said the walk went "brilliantly" and that they hope to hold it again next year.
As part of her preparation for the walk, year five pupil Robyn Evans took part in walk to school week last week.
This saw her walking the 3.5 miles from her Caerwent home to her Rogiet school, accompanied by her mum and deputy head teacher Vicky Curtis.
