Lights will guide your way and there will be music to enjoy with the opportunity to pause and remember. We ask each person who takes part to pledge to raise £60 in memory of those they are walking for. This could contribute towards a supported hydrotherapy session helping to relax sore muscles. There are just 200 places available to be a part of this uplifting evening and due to its sensitive nature registration is only open to those aged 5 years or over. Unfortunately, NO spectators and NO dogs are permitted.
