Bristol City players back plea for marshals

Friday 23rd April 2010

Captain of Bristol City Football club Louis Carey and defender Liam Fontaine are asking local people to step forward and act as marshals for The Midnight Walk.

Maria del Carmen Moon Park, Community Fundraiser at St Peter’s Hospice said: “The Midnight Walk is not only dedicated to raising money and awareness of the Hospice, but it’s a girls’ night out with a difference. We’ve had a fantastic response from ladies who want to join us but we now desperately need to recruit more marshals to make sure the event is safe for everyone and runs smoothly. So if anyone has family or friends walking, or just fancies being part of one of the biggest events in Bristol this summer, please get in touch, as we need your help. ”

Local TV star appeals to ladies to sign up for St Peter’s Hospice Midnight Walk

Popular, local TV actress, Georgia Taylor is appealing to the women of Bristol to sign up and step out for St Peter’s Hospice brand new event The Midnight Walk.

The event which takes place on Saturday 17th July is aimed at women (over the age of 16) and aims to gather hundreds of walkers at Ashton Gate Stadium for a mass warm up before setting off on a 10m route at midnight through the city.
 
Georgia said “This event is all about having a fun night out with your friends/family or work colleagues but also raising money for a very important local charity. Nobody really knows what a hospice does until they experience their specialised care and support first hand and you never know when you may need them. Everyone in the city will know someone who has been affected by cancer and many of those will have been cared for by St Peter’s Hospice so I am delighted to be able to support the Midnight Walk and hope everyone will sign up.”
 
Maria Moon Park, Community Fundraiser organising the event said: “We are so grateful to Georgia for taking the time to visit the hospice to find out more about the work we do and why the Midnight Walk is such an important event to help us raise vital funds. The Midnight Walk is the chance to be a star for St. Peter’s Hospice and shine brightly: the brighter the better!  Everyone stepping out at midnight for St. Peter’s Hospice on July 17th will help us raise vital funds to enable us to continue our work in the community and at Brentry. Men can also play their part by helping out as volunteer marshals on the evening”
