Entries are now open for this year’s 11-mile night-time trek Walk in the Dark for Rosemere Cancer Foundation.
The walk will take place on Saturday 25 April alongside the A6 from Chorley to Preston.
For the first time ever in what will be the charity’s 12th Walk in the Dark, all participants will receive a T-shirt on signing up as well as a goody bag on setting out and a medal on finishing.
Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s chief officer, Dan Hill, said: “Walk in the Dark is the single most important event to us in our yearly fundraising calendar. Last year’s walk raised £50,000 to help us fund our projects to improve the treatment journey of cancer patients throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.
