Cousins to walk beneath the stars to remember special mum and aunt

Cousins preparing to walk beneath the stars in memory of their special mum and aunt are encouraging others to join them in this year’s Moonlight Walk.

With new routes and a glass of bubbly to add extra sparkle at the finish line, this year’s Moonlight Walk promises to have something for all.

Participants are invited to wear their most colourful clothes and can walk the classic eight-miles, challenge themselves to a new 13-mile route or ease in with a new four-mile walk. Those walking in memory of someone special are given stars to wear to add to a candle-lit memory wall at the end of the Walk.

Jesse Ansbro-Brett, Hospice Relationship Fundraising Manager, said: “Whether you wish to celebrate the life of someone special or fancy the challenge of walking under the stars in beautiful surroundings, there’s something for everyone this year. The wonderful Freddie Green and Family Charitable Foundation is offering to match every pound raised this year, in memory of Jo Green, who passed away in June 2021 at the Hospice. That means if you raise £50, we receive £100 towards our vital hospice care.

“Milli and Molly know the difference that Hospice in the Weald makes to those facing terminal illness and their families, and we hope many more locals will support us by signing up for an unforgettable night.”

Registration is £20 for adults and £10 for children.
