Local celebrities such as Hospice vice-president Olivia Nash will be amongst those walking to raise money for the charity. The walk routes are organised by local volunteers who marshal the walk and are a friendly face offering refreshments at the finish line.
“Every pound donated or raised will make a difference” says Olivia. “As vice-president for Northern Ireland Hospice, I am delighted to be part of this annual event. By committing to the walk and getting sponsored, people will be making a big difference as the money raised will make a huge impact on the lives of local people, people in our community.
“Sponsorship money of £30 will pay an hour of specialist nursing care for a patient being cared for at home. I will do all I can to promote the 2012 walk and hope as many local people as possible turn out after such a long winter for a bit of craic.”
