NEARLY 2,000 Warrington women have raised more than £175,000 in a recording breaking St Rocco’s Hospice Starlight Walk.
A total of 1,900 women registered to take part in the walk, which set off from Victoria Park consisting of one lap around town at 6.5 miles or two laps 13.1 miles, the equivalent of a half marathon.
The women pledged over £175,000, beating last year’s total and more funds are expected to come in over the coming weeks.
Janice Connolly of Phoenix Nights fame was on hand to help launch the event alongside Warrington’s Mayor Brian Axcell.
Walkers were joined by warrington Wolves’ mascot Wolfie, Warrington Town mascot The Legend and Ollie from Warrington Disability Partnership.
