ONE of St Leonard's Hospice's major fundraising events, its 20-mile Challenge Walk, is back "in stile" this year, after its cancellation in 2001 because of foot and mouth restrictions.
The walk, on Saturday, May 4, begins and ends in Haworth and takes in Hebden Bridge and spectacular views of the Pennine scenery of Bront Country.
The number of walkers is limited to 200, and places have to be booked in advance, so that the organisation of helpers for the checkpoints and catering can be organised. The closing date for entries is Friday, April 26, and the fee is £6, which includes refreshments at the end of the walk.
Since the first St Leonard's Way Challenge Walk in 1990, the event has raised more than £87,000. Many of the walkers raise sponsorship for their efforts, and St Leonard's can supply sponsorship forms.
For more information about entry and sponsorship forms, call the fundraising centre on 01904 781576.
