WARRINGTON Wolves’ Halliwell Jones Stadium will be the starting point for next year’s St Rocco’s Starlight Walk when hundreds of women will take to the streets to raise funds for the hospice.
Warrington town centre will turn pink as women take part in a 13-mile walk on Friday, June 17.
The Starlight Walk is the single biggest event of the year for the charity so everyone at the Wolves is keen to support in anyway they can. Since launching the event in 2006 thousands of ladies have taken part, one year 2000 participated. Warrington Wolves would like to set you a challenge to make the 2011 walk the best yet and top the 2000 mark.
Beth Eccles, St Rocco’s Hospice Matron, said: “We are very excited about hosting the Starlight Walk 2011 at the home of Warrington Wolves. Having this extra support will be fantastic for our patients by helping to get more people involved and raising more money to help provide care and treatments.”
Dave Hutchinson, Wolves’ Sales and Marketing Controller, added: “Warrington Wolves are proud to be able to host the Starlight Walk for 2011 and help support the wonderful work that St Rocco’s do within our community. We are looking forward to working together in an effort to make the walk a memorable one and raise as much money as possible.”
The Hospice treats patients with life limiting diseases (such as cancer) and also supports their families and friends. All services are provided completely free of charge to patients and families.
The money raised from Starlight Walk 2011 will fund projects at St Rocco’s Hospice. One such project is “St. Rocco’s at Home”, a service which will bring hospice care and specialist St Rocco’s nurses to the homes of patients in the community who for whatever reason, are unable to access services at the Hospice itself.
