Hundreds raise thousands on starlight hike

They were taking part in the first ever Starlight Hike to raise £60,000 of crucial funds for St John’s Hospice in Moggerhanger.

The route at The Shuttleworth Collection led participants through 10km of beautifully lit, atmospheric scenery.

The hike was part of a number of Starlight Hike events taking place up and down the country, which formed Sue Ryder’s biggest community fundraising drive of 2012.

Danielle Brandon, events organiser, said: “The money raised will help maintain our important care services for people in the area for a long time to come.

“We urge people to get signed up for the 2013 hikes as soon as possible so we can make next year’s event even bigger and better.”
