Redrow Homes are sponsoring the event for the first time this year, which currently has just over 700 people signed up. The participants will walk a 16 mile route in purple t-shirts, decorated with memories, photos and names of loved ones.

The new route is 3 miles longer this year, a year for each decade it is celebrating, but an 8 mile route is also available.

Lynne Whittaker, senior fundraiser at St Catherine’s Hospice, said, “This year’s T-shirts look fantastic and we’ve already had lots of compliments from walkers when they have picked them up.

“Having the support of Redrow through their sponsorship really does make a huge difference and we’re extremely grateful for their generosity. We’re delighted a group from the company will also be joining us on the night – it is a very special event for St Catherine’s which offers people a way to remember their loved ones, whilst doing something so positive and worthwhile for a local charity.”

The walk begins at 10pm, and more information can be found when you sign up from this link here.
