GOOD EGGS

I believe I can fly!

Regular BHWT fundraiser and genuine chicken lover, Gill Rowlands, is putting her running shoes to one side later this month as she dons a chicken costume and throws herself off Chester Cathedral, all in the name of hens!

Don’t panic though, Gill will be taking part in an exhilarating abseil inside the historic Chester Cathedral on 29 April. Gill has been fundraising for us since 2017 and has run a number of races, raising more than £1,000 during that time.

This is the first time she has done something quite so daring - dangling from a rope, without a wall to settle against, directly down the centre of the Cathedral, the nave of which is around 24 metres in height.

We think she’s one very brave chook, and can’t wait to see photo evidence of a hen flying through the air within a Cathedral. It’s definitely a first for the charity! You can support Gill’s flight by visiting: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/gillian-rowlands3

Walk on wings, do great things!

We all love a challenge here at Hen Central, but strapping ourselves to a plane in the name of chickens? We’ll pass, thanks. Therefore, we’re amazed that seven people have signed on the dotted line to do a Wing Walk, all to help our feathered friends. There are still more spots available if you’d like to join in on 23 September. The Wing Walks will take place in Gloucester and we ask for an upfront contribution of £150 to secure your place, and a pledge from you to raise £1,000 minimum.
