You don’t have to be a fireman to be a hero this year. All you need to do is support the Catlin End-to-End which has raised millions for local charities over the years.You can pledge or register on-line through the website www.bermudaendtoend.bm. Walk organisers have also begun distributing brightly-coloured brochures that include maps for the Island-wide course and pledge sheets for participants and supporters.In-person registration for this year’s event will take place next month.“We are urging everyone in the community to register for this year’s event, or to pledge their support for it,” said Anne Mello, chair of event organisers End-to-End Charitable Trust.The event day is more than just a fitness challenge and bonding experience for the 2,500 participants who take part.The pledges they collect, and the online pledges made by generous individuals, are crucial to the charities supported by the event.“We continue to be aware of the many challenges our local community faces, including the economic slowdown and increasing social challenges,” Mrs Mello added.Funds raised by this year’s Catlin End-to-End will support 11 charities, with an emphasis on youth, families and seniors.
