WALKERS are invited to stride out across the Malvern Hills with their friends, family and pets for St Richard’s annual fundraising challenge.
The Worcester-based hospice’s Malvern Hills Walk takes place on Saturday May 9 with a family-friendly two and five-mile option and a more challenging 11-mile route.
The fundraising walk has been a fixture in the hospice’s calendar since it was founded in 1984, raising funds to help the charity continue its care to patients and their loved ones.
Alison Parkes, fundraiser at St Richard’s, said: “Walkers are treated to stunning views across the surrounding countryside and a real sense of achievement, whichever route they choose.
“There’s always a great atmosphere on the day, and we’ll be cheering everyone on as they go.
“This event is very much part of who we are at St Richard’s, and a fantastic way for the community to help raise funds that support our free care.
“We encourage walkers to raise sponsorship to help us continue supporting those in need.”
The two and five-mile walks are circular, starting from 10am at Black Hills Car Park. Admin fee is £10 for adults and £5 for under 16s, who must be accompanied by an adult.
The 11-mile walk will see participants trek the full length of the hills from Chase End.
Everyone walking the 11-mile route will be transported to the start by coach, leaving from North Quarry Car Park at 8am.
Registration for the 11-mile walk starts at 7.20am. Admin fee is £15 for adults and £10 for under 16s, who must be accompanied by an adult.
