LOROS, the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice, are calling on the nations favourite four legged friends to help raise the vital funds needed to provide care and support to over 2,500 patients and their families each year.

Paws 4 a Cause, which is on Sunday 29th March, is a sponsored 4km dog walk starting and finishing in the scenic grounds of Abbey Park, Leicester. You can choose to start at 10am or 11am and every dog will receive their very own ‘doggy’ bag at the finish. There will also be a prize for the dog who raises the most sponsorship!

Laura Fitzsawyer, Fundraising Co-ordinator said: “This is the 4th year that we have organised Paws 4 a Cause. It is a great event that is fun for all the family. Over the past 4 years it has raised over £30,000 for the Hospice, and this year we want to make that total exceed £40,000!

"The route has changed slightly this year, starting at the Oval rather than the Bandstand. We are extremely grateful to Abbey Park and Abbey Park Café for supporting our event once again.”

For FREE registration and to receive your fundraising pack, please visit loros.co.uk/paws or call the Fundraising Department on (0116) 231 8431/2.
