With just days to go before Earl Mountbatten Hospice’s Walk the Wight 2017, potential walkers are being reminded that it’s not too late to sign up.
Those wanting to take on the walking challenge this coming Sunday (14th May) can still register by buying a ‘Pay £25’ pack in hospice shops across the Island. However, stocks are limited and registration closes on the afternoon of Thursday 11th May, although you will still be able to sign up in the Newport shop on Lugley Street until 16:30 on Saturday 13th May.
If you miss out on registration in the hospice shops, you can always register on the day, at any start point, for a minimum suggested donation of £20 per individual, or if you are a group of 3 or more, £10 per adult and £5 per child. Full details can be found in the Walk the Wight section at www.iwhospice.org.
Jax Jones, Major Events Fundraiser, said:
“Over 7,000 men, women, children and dogs have so far registered and we want to thank everyone for their support; we hope even more people will register between now and the event itself. We wish all our walkers the best of luck for what is sure to be an amazing day!”
Nigel Hartley, Chief Executive, said:
“Walk the Wight is the perfect opportunity for the community to come together in celebration of our hospice’s 35th anniversary year. I will be walking the full 26.5 miles and look forward to meeting many of you along the route.”
