A GROUP of TV celebrities have thrown their weight behind a fundraising drive urging men to support their ladies in a charity walk.
The Hospice of the Good Shepherd’s annual Starlight Stroll event takes place on September 4 in Chester, and September 25 in Ellesmere Port.
So far more than 300 ladies have signed up for the event but men have been urged to give their support on the sidelines, helping to marshall the way along the six or four mile routes and serving refreshments at the halfway point.
A group of TV celebrities have spoken out in support of the Backford-based hospice and are encouraging men to do as much as they can to support the event.
Jemma Hamilton, hospice events fundraiser, said: “We are asking women to encourage the man in their life to put down their remote control, switch off the sports channel or give up a night with the lads and help their local Hospice by marshalling along the six or four mile routes, helping with car parking or giving out refreshments at the half way point. We promise to make it worth your while.”
