Weston Hospicecare is thrilled to invite the community to join its annual Moonlight Beach Walk on Saturday, 14th September 2024.
The Moonlight Beach Walk is an inspiring event, offering participants the chance to walk either 5km or 10km along Weston-super-Mare seafront, starting and finishing at the iconic Grand Pier, one of the event sponsors.
The annual event, now in its ninth year, is a night of remembrance and celebration with hundreds of local people taking part to raise funds and support Weston Hospicecare.
Sarah, a regular participant and part of a team from event sponsor Howards Motor Group explained: “I’ve completed the Moonlight Beach Walk on a number of occasions for Howards, it’s an amazing event and the atmosphere is incredible!
“Please come along and join us, you’ll have such a great evening with like-minded people and most importantly, you can raise money for a most amazing local charity, they need those funds to make a difference!”
This year’s event is packed full of excitement and extras to ensure an unforgettable evening, with participants receiving:
- Entry to the chosen Moonlight Beach Walk route (5km or 10km)
- A branded T-shirt to commemorate the event
- An in-memory candle bag to remember loved ones
- Entertainment, including in-house DJ to bring the tunes at the Grand Pier
- A glass of prosecco at the after-party to celebrate your achievement
Weston Hospicecare’s Events and Challenges Manager Nicola Slark said: “Our annual Moonlight Beach Walk is one of the key fundraising events we host. It’s by far our most colourful event of the year and quite hard to miss the snaking line of pink t-shirts and flashing rabbit ears that works its way along the beach!
“If you’ve never taken part before, it’s a great opportunity for people to come together in a very special shared experience, whether walking in memory of loved ones or simply to support hospice.”
The deadline for registration is Thursday 5th September, and all participants are encouraged to secure their spot and begin their fundraising before this date.
Every step taken during the Moonlight Beach Walk will help Weston Hospicecare continue to offer free, compassionate care to those with life-limiting conditions from local communities, with each participant’s fundraising going directly back into helping the hospice deliver its vital work.
