On Saturday 5th October nine Shrimpers Trust members together with Southend United's Head of Commercial Rhys Ellingham walked the 33.4 miles to the Blues away game with Gillingham, to raise funds for the Trust and local children's charity Little Havens Hospice.
We are delighted to confirm that 'Journey to the Gills' has raised a massive £8,089.35.
The Trust are extremely grateful for the tremendous backing that this initiative has received from local businesses, Southend United Football Club including directors and players and importantly the Blues supporter community as a whole, with everyone thanked for their encouragement and generousity.
