Ben Allen recently completed his gruelling 245km, 7-day walk from St. James Square in Newport to London, dressed as a Star Wars Stormtrooper. The walk, sponsored by WightFibre raised over £6,000 for the Joe Ellis Trust including a £1,000 donation directly from WightFibre as part of their continuing support for local charities and good causes across the Island.
Ben says: “Having WightFibre behind me on the walk was a great comfort, especially knowing that companies are in touch with the local Island community, which was evident during my send off on Day 1. Through everyone’s effort, especially on social media, we were able to raise a staggering amount of money for the Joe Ellis Trust and I am truly humbled.”
WightFibre first met Ben at their charity premiere for ‘Star Wars :The Force Awakens’ in December, an event at which WightFibre raised over £3,000 for Island based charity UKSA.
