Hospice launches new event - the Walk of Memories
12 March 2015
A SPONSORED walk through Pennington Flash Country Park in memory of loved ones is being organised by Wigan and Leigh Hospice.
New for 2015 the walk will take place on the afternoon of
Sunday, May 3rd, when men, women and children are invited to walk
around the park.
At the end everyone taking part will be invited to place a message
or photograph on a Tree of Memories in remembrance of a loved
one.
Maxine Armstrong, Fundraising and Lottery Manager, said: "We
organise a walk every year but this time we wanted to do something
different and hopefully more meaningful. The Walk of Memories is an
opportunity for friends and family to spend an afternoon together
and mark the life of a loved one while raising funds for the
Hospice."
Two walks will be open of 5K and 10K in length and at the finish
participants will be able to enjoy refreshments, a funfair, live
music and other attractions.
All those taking part are asked to raise a minimum of £25
sponsorship.
