Come, register and get active while supporting your local Hospice, LOROS, at the Walk on the Wildside.

Dig out your walking boots on Sunday 14th September and join the annual sponsored ‘Walk on the Wildside’ event. Come along and enjoy the walk, passing through the beautiful Bradgate Park and enchanting Swithland Wood.

Starting and finishing at The Severn Trent Water Visitor Centre, Cropston, this year we have changed our routes slightly and there will be three routes to choose from. A 5 mile walk and new Toddler Trail commencing at 10.30am and for those looking for more of a challenge, an 11 mile walk starting a little earlier at 9.30am.

Everyone participating will receive a goody bag and certificate on the day.

Rachel Hill, Fundraiser at LOROS said, “Bring the whole family and come join LOROS on a sponsored walk that leads you through the historic Deer Park, past the ruins of Bradgate House to the ancient, atmospheric woodland of Swithland Woods. It really is a fun filled event, ideal for the family.

"This year toddlers will be able to take part in the new Toddler Trail, organised by the newly formed Bradgate Rotary Club, the half mile route taking you through the grounds of the Severn Trent Visitor Centre.”

Food will also be available along with lively warm-up sessions, stalls, children’s activity area, outdoor activity trail for the children and much more!!

Register online for your sponsorship pack. Last chance to register is Monday 8th September 2014!

All money raised will ensure LOROS continues to provide care and support to terminally-ill patients and their families living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
