Midnight Walk
Midnight Walk crowd
When one of Plymouth’s best-loved charity events returns this year, it is taking participants back to the past to raise vital funds that will help local families for generations to come.
St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth’s iconic Midnight Walk is back on Friday, July 22, when it is set to be awash with women embracing this year’s theme of 1982, which is when the hospice - then based at Syrena House in Plymstock - welcomed its first patients.
As well as the retro theme to mark four decades of St Luke’s, this year - for the first time - the charity has added a new 2.5-mile route to the popular annual event.
While this shorter walk has been introduced so that young children can be part of Midnight Walk, both this distance and the 5, 10 and 15-mile routes are open to all girls and boys aged up to 17, as well as adult women, so that doing good in the community can be more of a family affair.
Sponsored by local company Drakes Jewellers, Midnight Walk is an opportunity for women and children to come together and celebrate the lives of relatives and friends who have died but will never be forgotten.
Leaving from - and returning to - Plymouth Argyle Football Club’s Home Park Stadium, they will be raising funds that will help the charity continue its specialist service caring for terminally ill people at home, in hospital and at Turnchapel and providing emotional support for them and their families.
