Groups represented more than 11 charities. The youngest walkers were from the 2^nd Cold Ash Brownies with a group of 13. Other charities represented included Bruce Trust, Christian Aid, Motor Neurone Disease Association, Mother Theresas Orphanage, Oxfam, Parkinsons, St. Marys Wall Paintings, St Marys Church Shaw, Stroke Care for Newbury and West Berks and West Berks Mencap.
