SOBAFF CHARITY WALK for IiME
SOBAFF is a Forces Promotional website for both American and British
Forces Charities. But they do not stop there, they will promote all
worthwhile charities and organisations made up of volunteers like themselves.
We are very honoured to announce that Sobaff has agreed to donate funds raised during their next 500 mile walk to Invest in ME.
The walk will be from Catterick in North Yorkshire starting on 29th April 2013 and they will be walking to The Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, the Home of the Chelsea Pensioners to arrive on 24th May 2013.
The walk will finish in London just before the IiMEC8 conference.
The walk is supported by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
This was initiated thanks to Alex Hall who made contact with SOBAFF and suggested IiME.
SOBAFF have said "With issues surrounding the Disabled in the UK, we would like to be able to help you raise funds for your charity".
We look forward to be able to work with SOBAFF and to promote the walk and the worthwhile work they are doing in raising awareness of the sacrifices being made by others.
Information on Sobaff’s future event and the past event can be found on their

SOBAFF have a GPS system on their website, by
which one will be able to follow the walkers' progress, as and when it starts,
or the planned route.
Baxterbear will be making appearances along the route.

by both adults and children alike and has since travelled the world on his
journeys.
