To celebrate QueenSpark’s 100th book, Nicola Benge donated the proceeds from her 100 mile Walk-A-Thon.
This sponsored walk in August 2011 took Nicola along the entire South Downs Way from Winchester Cathedral in Hampshire to Eastbourne, East Sussex – 106 miles, and only one blister!
Nicola would like to thank everyone for sponsoring her and QueenSpark would like to thank her for her contribution towards funding the archiving of local heritage and memories.
