CARLISLE MIDNIGHT WALK UPDATE

WOW - What a night and what a result - THANK YOU

The Carlisle walk took place on the longest Friday of the year (20 June) and just under 1600 ladies took to the streets of Carlisle walking six miles to raise funds for the work of Eden Valley Hospice.

Collectively the ladies taking part have pledged an astonishing £144,407.00 making this event our biggest single fundraising event ever.

A simply massive thank you to each and every lady who not only walked the six miles but also rose the challenge of raising money for the Hospice. It makes a huge difference to us and we really appreciate everyone's support.

Penrith Walk Poster

Last year we launched our first Ladies Midnight Memory Walk and what a success it was. Almost 700 ladies walked the six mile route round Carlisle starting in torrential rain at Tesco's in Rosehill on the stroke of midnight.

Thanks to this fantastic support we received from all who took part they raised over £66,000 for the work of the hospice making the Midnight Walk our most successful event in 2007!

But our 2008 Carlisle Walk is now fully booked, with over 1,600 ladies who have signed up to support this amazing event, but don't be disheartened.

This year we are offering supporters the chance to join us for a second Midnight Walk but in PENRITH this time and we are keen to make this event as much fun and as popular as our Carlisle walk.

The walk will take place on Friday 5th September 2008 starting at the stroke of Midnight from the Ullswater Community College and we are looking for HUNDREDS of LADIES to enter this amazing event.

Walk for a Reason
Whether you want to walk to remember a loved one, get fit, have a great night out with friends or colleagues, meet new friends amongst the many women who'll be joining you, or just support the vital work of Eden Valley Hospice, we need you to sign up now!

Fancy Dress
Last year many of the ladies did the walk in fancy dress, nurses in nighties, ladies in leotards, incredible hulks, bees, pink ladies and even fairies!

So, this year not only can you add to the fun of the night by taking part in Fancy Dress, but we have a special prize lined up for the lady or group who we feel has the most novel or unusual costume!

Walk with Friends
Entry is only £10.00 per walker and every walker will receive a special Hospice Tee-Shirt, Glow stick and refreshments for the walk and a commemorative medal and goodie pack for every lady who completes the walk.

Dog Friendly
Quite a few of our walkers last year brought their dog as a chaperone for the walk, we are happy to facilitate this again provided you keep your dog well under control and on a lead. (Don't forget to scoop that poop should nature call).

Sponsored Event
Our Midnight Walk is a chance for ladies to raise vital funds for the hospice through sponsorship and we ask each walker to raise as much as they can to support our care for people with terminal or life-limiting illnesses. As part of this sponsorship we ask that you pay £10 in advance sponsorship as a registration fee to take part and then the balance of your sponsorship as soon after the event as possible.  When you register we will send you a registration pack with all you need to get your fundraising in-step with your walking.

Your Registration Pack
Once you register to take part we will send you our special Midnight Walk registration pack, within this pack you will receive more details of the walk, a sponsorship form, some sponsorship hints and tips, your walk number, a training schedule for your walk and an exclusive Midnight Walk Tee-shirt that you can customise if you wish.
