Midnight Memory Walk

 

 

Ashleigh & Burwood proudly to lent their support to the Midnight Memory Walk, for Children’s Hospice South West. They donated a gift for each of the 500 goody bags being given to participants at the event, which took place on 4^th September 2009.

 

An uplifting candle-lit ‘memory’ ceremony, hosted by popular TV presenter and patron of the charity, Noel Edmonds preceded the walk which saw 691 ladies undertake a seven mile sponsored walk through Bristol taking in some famous landmarks along the way.  The evening was an outstanding success, with £70,000 being raised for this very worthy cause. This is enough to fund 2 specialist nurses at the Children’s Hospice for a year.

 

Karen Willis, head of fundraising at the Children's Hospice at Charlton Farm, said "So many people worked so hard to make this happen and donated items and their time freely, and so I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has been involved in the first ever Midnight Memory Walk and for helping to make it such a great success”.

Ashleigh & Burwood wish to congratulate all those which took part and express their delight at the great success of the event.
