WALK THIS WAY. Lynn Cowan, Northern Ireland Hospice Fundraiser along with Deputy Mayor, Cllr Mark Fielding promoting the forthcoming walk for Hospice.CR14-100SC.

The Northern Ireland Hospice Walk - to be held  locally at Portstewart Strand on Saturday, April 12 - is  the biggest annual fundraising event held by the  charity.

Support the walk, councillor Fielding said: “This is a charity close to all of our hearts, and one well deserving of our support to help continue caring for patients and their families who are cared for by Northern Ireland Hospice.’’

“I will be delighted to officially start the Hospice Walk on Portstewart Strand on Saturday. April 12 at 10am and urge the local community to give their full support to this worthy cause.”

The Portstewart Hospice Walk is one of ten walks  taking place across Northern Ireland and is supported  by Creightons of Finaghy, Mauds Ice Cream and  Kilwaughter Chemical Company.

Lynn Cowan, Event  Organiser for Northern Ireland Hospice comments: “We are thrilled to have the  support from the Deputy Mayor of Coleraine and hope that local people will come out support us on Saturday, April 12.

“Last year, our Portstewart walk raised over £5,000 which was fantastic!

This year we want to exceed this total and raise as much money as possible  to support the 141 patients and their families in the  local North Coast area who are in need of Hospice  support.”

Northern Ireland Hospice currently cares for over 3,000 people across both adult and children’s services in  hospice and the local community across Northern Ireland. All care is free of charge and is provided 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
