A group of friends and family are taking on a 26 mile walking challenge this weekend to raise funds for Scarborough's Saint Catherine's Hospice.
Around 30 walkers will taking part in a huge challenge for Saint Catherine’s on Saturday 27 July as they take on a 26-mile walk starting and finishing at the hospice.
Rachel Swales, who is organising the event in memory of Sue Swales said:
"We lost a dear wife/mother/ grandmother and friend at the start of the year and she spent the last of her days under the great care of the team at St Catherine's.
We could not have asked for better treatment of both her and her family throughout and we want to give back what we can.
Approximately 25 of us, both family and friends, are walking 26.8 miles to raise funds for this wonderful place. Any support you can give no matter how big or small would be greatly appreciated.
We aim to give all we can to complete this 'little' walk and hope to raise as much as we possibly can with your support."
They are setting off around 7.30am on the day and arriving back from approx. 5.30pm.
