Slimming group members are preparing to walk from Selby to York to raise funds for the children’s high-dependency ward at York Hospital.
The walk, on Easter Sunday, will start at Selby Rugby Club and end at York Hospital.
Walk organiser Susan Purdy whose daughter, Jennifer, will be in York Hospital over the Easter period, said: “I am a Weight Watchers group leader in Selby and Alison Taylor is a group member who has recently lost a lot of weight, so we thought a sponsored walk would be a really great way to increase both our activity levels.
“We wanted to raise money by organising an Easter-themed raffle and through sponsorship for a deserving cause, which is why we have chosen to support the children’s high-dependency ward at York Hospital.”
If anyone would like to sponsor Susan and Alison, or donate to the raffle, phone 01904 721737 or email lucy.watson@york.nhs.uk
