Let’s find out at the biggest girls night out in Leicester!
Following the huge success of last year’s Twilight Walk, which raised over £50,000, registration is now open for this year’s event which is taking place on Saturday 25th April.
This year’s ‘Saints & Sinners’ themed Twilight Walk is sure to be the biggest girls night out that Leicester has ever seen. Join us and make this the BIGGEST Twilight Walk yet! Ladies from across the city and county, of all ages and fitness levels, will take part in a 10km sponsored walk through the city of Leicester in aid of LOROS the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Hospice.
This special night in Leicester annually unites sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, partners and colleagues from all over the East Midlands to have fun, remember loved ones and raise money for their local Hospice. The unique atmosphere at the event makes it a night you will not want to miss!
Debra Clarke died at LOROS in June 2013, aged just 51. Here, one of her three children, Leah Brown, 23, explains why she will now be taking part every year: “I first did the Twilight Walk last year in memory of my mum. Seeing how many people were there, all doing it for the same cause was so moving, you feel so connected. It was fantastic. My sister and I did it together and when we came to the end, felt really happy because it felt like such an achievement and we were doing it for our mum and we raised about £500 in her memory. Mum was admitted to LOROS, and after the very first day there, I could see the difference in her. She was outside, in her bed, in the sunshine - it was the first time I’d seen her eat in weeks. She was full of energy, as much as she could be. Mum died at LOROS and it was the best place she could have been. We’ll be forever grateful.”
The ‘Saints & Sinners’ theme encourages participants to have fun and dress up as angels and devils – we also have a great range of merchandise to help with your outfits! This is available to buy on the event’s website.
