LOROS Hospice is delighted to announce that their annual Twilight Walk will be hosted by Hollyoaks and I’m a Celebrity star Owen Warner.
The 10km walk, which is jungle themed, is taking place on Saturday 8th July 2023 at the King Power Stadium.
I’m a Celebrity star Owen is passionate about supporting LOROS Hospice and is delighted to be hosting the event. He’ll be using his jungle know-how to lead the walkers through a 10km trek across the city centre with entertainment along the way to keep everyone going.
Owen said: “When I was asked if I’d take part in this event for LOROS it was an immediate YES. I’m proud to be working alongside an organisation that has supported so many families – including my own.”
To fully embrace the ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ theme, Twilight walkers are encouraged to get creative and dress for the jungle. Owen has promised to be wearing the gold hotpants he wore for the final I’m a Celebrity Cyclone challenge, so whether you’re a fan of leopard prints or want to channel an inner Tarzan and Jane, it’s the perfect opportunity to showcase your unique jungle style!
Now in its thirteenth year, the Twilight Walk brings the people of Leicestershire together in solidarity to remember their loved ones and raise money for their local Hospice. Together over the past five years, LOROS Twilight Walkers have raised an incredible £471,000 for the local charity. This year, like the past five, LOROS is welcoming Dunelm as the event’s main sponsor.
Andrew Ward, Events Lead at LOROS Hospice said: “We’re thrilled to have Dunelm on board as our sponsor. At LOROS Hospice, we rely on the generosity of our community to help us continue to provide essential care and support for our patients and their families. Every step you take and every penny you raise will make a huge impact. With Owen’s I’m a Celeb experiences, he’s the ideal king of the jungle to lead our Twilight walkers across the city.”
Laura York, Community Charity Manager at Dunelm said: “At Dunelm, we are incredibly proud to sponsor the LOROS Twilight Walk for the fifth year in a row. We’re delighted to be able to support in helping to raise those vital funds that make a huge difference to the patients and families that LOROS work with across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.”
