Outdoor leisure wear supplier Scribble is putting its best foot forward in a colourful bid to smash a 'boot-i-ful' world record and launch their latest range of wellies.
Leisure wear supplier gives it 'sum wellie' in world record attempt
The company is providing a team for a 'Give it Sum Wellie' event in aid of a Midlands children's hospice on Sunday, September 28, as well as offering participants a free pair of wellies when they buy their first pair.

Scribble says the family event, in aid of Staffordshire's Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust, is the perfect opportunity to launch their latest range of fun children's wellies.

As well as staff taking part in the world record attempt, and wellies being on offer, Scribble's parent company, RKW, is also a corporate sponsor of the event.

RKW managing director Nigel Moult said: "As soon as I heard about the world record attempt, I could see what a fantastic event it was, and it's a privilege for us to be involved - the hospice is literally down the road and we were keen to help.

"Teams are made up of four people and we are encouraging as many of our staff as possible to take part."

The Donna Louise Children's Hospice Trust is urging people to Give It Sum Wellie and join them for the boot race at Trentham Estates in Stoke.
The charity is hoping to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest number of people completing a 2km race in Wellington boots.

The charity was established in 1999 and cares for children with life threatening conditions. A comprehensive children's hospice service is provided at the hospice in Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent.

"We are very grateful to RKW for their support," said fundraising manager, Sylvia Pearl. "As one of several corporate sponsors, they're enabling us to get the word out about the event and more importantly, a team from RKW is taking part."

"This is a really fun way to help us. We have the massive task of raising £2 million every year to keep supporting children with life threatening or life limiting conditions.

"I know at this time of year the last thing on people's minds is the thought of getting out their Wellington boots, but we really do need people to get behind us. They will not only be part of helping us to set a new world record, but will also help us to raise a lot of cash for the hospice."
