A popular fundraising walk will return next month to help a charity celebrate its 30th anniversary.

The six-mile Moonlight Memories Walk in Whitehaven will take place on October 6 for Hospice at Home West Cumbria.

Two pre-registration events will take place this Saturday where fundraisers can collect their t-shirt, walker number and goody bag prior to the event.

These will be held from 10am to 2pm, at Whitehaven Golf Club and the HHWC Donation Centre at Derwent Howe Industrial Estate, Workington.

A spokesman for the charity said: "Four years have passed since our last Midnight Walk and this year we are bringing it back with a truly memorable fundraiser, to celebrate 30 years of providing care in West Cumbria.

“Walk in memory of a loved one, walk for someone you know who has been helped by Hospice at Home West Cumbria or just walk for fun and fitness. Whatever your motivation, we need your help to raise vital funds to support Hospice at Home West Cumbria’s work.

“There will be an opportunity for those walking in memory of a loved one to have a quiet moment and to attach a personal message on a special memory board on Whitehaven Harbour.”

The walk starts and finishes at Whitehaven's Tesco supermarket, with a variety of entertainment from 7pm, including a fun warm-up session by the Xtreme Fitness Team to get participants ready for the walk at 10pm.

All entrants will receive a goody bag with a T-shirt, a drink and snack, a rain poncho and a glow necklace.

At the end everyone will receive a medal to commemorate the event.

People are encouraged to dress up for the event in 1980s gear and prizes will be handed out for the best costume, best dressed group and best decorated T-shirts.

The event is sponsored by Morgan Sindall, Coombe and Sharpe Landscaping and Tesco.

To enter visit www.hospiceathomewestcumbria.org.uk or pick up a leaflet from the charity’s shops in Workington, Whitehaven and Cockermouth.

Entry is £15 per person and is open to everyone over 14.

Hospice at Home West Cumbria provides high quality, palliative and end of life care to people living in the area.

All sponsorship money raised will go directly to helping the charity's patients, carers and family members affected by a life limiting illness.
