The BIG Saunter

Also in attendance will be Dr McGinley, founder and Director of the Foyle Hospice; Gerry Lynch, amateur athlete and well known member of the local running fraternity; Noel McMonagle, Community Fundraising Manager for Foyle Hospice and a number of local participants.

The BIG Saunter is a sponsored walk for those aged 55+ and is being organised by Health for Life and the Foyle Hospice. The Saunter is inspired by the Foyle Hospice female and male walk/runs, which are hugely successful. The Big Saunter gives people aged 55+ their chance to be active, participate in civic life and raise money for a great organisation like the Foyle Hospice, which provides support and care with dignity for sufferers of cancer and their families.

The BIG Saunter will take place on 19thMay at 1.00pm. The walk will set off from Sainsbury's along the path of the River Foyle and finish off at the Guildhall; all monies raised will go to the Hospice. Participants can do the walk at their own pace and there will be stopping points along the way for those who feel they can't walk the whole route. The walk is designed to suit all abilities. Transport will be available to take participants to and from the event.

Health for Life and Foyle Hospice plan to make this an annual event.
