Saturday night, 26th April, saw sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, partners and colleagues unite across the county. They took over not only the King Power Stadium but also the streets of Leicester during the LOROS Hospice Twilight Walk - an annual 10km Sponsored Walk for ladies only.
The circuit was a circular loop which included some of Leicester City hot spots. Walkers enjoyed the mysterious New Walk, illuminated by lanterns, nooks and crannies in the oldest part of the city as well as the pink and violet lights of the modern Curve Theatre building and much more! The walk started from and finished at the King Power Stadium, where the host for the evening was DJ Amy Voce 
)from the GEM106 Breakfast Team.
As part of the celebrations, walkers had the opportunity to play games to win food vouchers to the new bar and grill, The Spur, but also to remember their loved ones by releasing a pink helium-filled balloon with their messages attached. The sky changed colour to pink for a while, making the beginning of the evening very special and emotional.
One of the participants of this year’s LOROS Twilight Walk said: “The balloon release touched me deeply and made me cry as I miss my Nanny who died at LOROS. Being together with such fantastic ladies during this amazing event gave me hope and happiness! 
I look forward to taking part in the event next year!”
This year’s theme “999 Emergency” called for Doctors, Nurses, Firegirls, Policewomen and many more emergency service themed outfits. LOROS Fundraising Team were impressed by the ladies’ creative ideas!
The theme for 2015's Twilight Walk will be Saints and Sinners.
Christian Weikert-Picker, the event organiser said: “The LOROS Fundraising Team would like to say a big thank you to all the ladies who took part in our Twilight Walk. The atmosphere was magical and as always the event is one of our best supported fundraising events, we hope that the many 'Selfie' images 
taken on the night continues to spread the awareness of the work at the Hospice".
We hope to raise over £40,000 from the event, which helps us to provide the vital help to our terminally ill patients and their families. We wouldn’t be able to organise this event without our great volunteers. Many thanks to them for their vital help!”
