ST Helena Hospice is urging people to sign up for its first ever sponsored dog walk.


Woofs and Walkies will start and end at Waldegraves Holiday Park in West Mersea on Sunday September 8.


Entry for the walk is free but all walkers are encouraged to raise as much money as they can through sponsorship.


Participants can choose from two routes; one is ideal for the older dog or a sprightly puppy and the other is longer and intended for the keener dog walker.


Both begin at 11am.


Register by downloading a form from www.sthelenahospice.org.uk/woofs and returning it to Woofs & Walkies, St Helena Hospice, Fundraising Office, Angora Business Park, Peartree Road, Colchester CO3 0AB.


Registration closes on August 30.


To receive a paper copy of the form in the post or for any other enquiries contact events@sthelenahospice.org.uk or on 01206 791740.


You cannot register on the day.
