Billy Johnson, a Carer at Cross Park House in Brixham, recently thought to himself ‘My longest working shift is 13 hours, I wonder how many miles I could walk in that time?’ And so, on Sunday 16th October, he set out to do just that! Billy completed 42 miles – walking, jogging, running – and if that wasn’t enough, he did it in drag and managed to raise £1300 in sponsorship for the residents of Cross Park! Good work Billy – and a huge thank you on behalf of all of the residents.
