The nurses from Farleigh at St Clare's Hospice are taking part in their annual sponsored walk on May 11 to help raise funds for the organisation.

Even though the walk is known as the Nurses' Annual Sponsored Walk it is open to anybody who wants to help raise money for Farleigh and the hospice is hoping to get as many people as possible involved.

The walk starts at the hospice in Heybridge and passes along the canal towpath and finishes 14-miles later in Chelmsford. Water stops and check points will be set up along the route.

Anyone who wants to take part should contact Richard Fewings on 01621 857727.
