St Barnabas Lincolnshire<br />
Hospice calls on the local<br />
community to join them for<br />
One Night in a Onesie<br />
St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice<br />
is urging the local community<br />
to join them for their historical<br />
10k Moonlight Walk which is<br />
set to take place in Lincoln on<br />
Saturday 6th June, setting off<br />
from Yarborough Leisure Centre<br />
at 10pm.<br />
Due to the county-wide<br />
popularity of last year’s walks<br />
the local charity has decided<br />
to return with One Night in a<br />
Onesie as the theme for the<br />
second consecutive year.<br />
Becky Otter, Events Manager for<br />
St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice,<br />
said “The Moonlight Walk is a<br />
flagship event in our hospice<br />
calendar and one that we are<br />
extremely proud to host each<br />
LINCOLNSHIRE HOSPICE TO HOST<br />
9 TH ANNUAL MOONLIGHT WALK<br />
year. It never ceases to amaze<br />
me how generous the people<br />
of Lincolnshire are and over<br />
the past eight years the local<br />
community have united and<br />
helped us to raise in excess of<br />
£580,000 to support our patient<br />
and family care across the<br />
county.”<br />
Last year, almost 1,000 people<br />
took part in the annual latenight<br />
walks across the county<br />
and together raised over<br />
£65,000. This year, St Barnabas<br />
Lincolnshire Hospice, are hoping<br />
to attract 1,500 participants to<br />
help raise £80,000.<br />
Becky Otter said “Our aspiration<br />
is to help our patients and<br />
their families make the most of<br />
every single second they share,<br />
regardless of how much time<br />
remains. It is money raised from<br />
events like these that can turn<br />
our aspirations into reality.<br />
“One Night in a Onesie is not<br />
a race or a sport it is a unique<br />
walk that allows everyone in the<br />
Lincolnshire community to take<br />
part. Men and women from 11<br />
years up are welcomed to sign<br />
up together and be part of this<br />
community driven event in aid<br />
of hospice Care.<br />
“This really will be a night to<br />
remember and guarantees to be<br />
full of fun and laughter and not<br />
forgetting to mention this will<br />
be the comfiest walk you have<br />
ever been on! Whatever your<br />
reason for walking; to get fit or<br />
to remember a loved one, please<br />
join us in your onesie!”<br />
