Hospiscare kicks off Men’s Walk 2017

Hospiscare’s Men’s Walk returns to Exeter`s Double Locks pub on Saturday 11th March 2017.

The sponsored walk is an 8 mile route along the Exe Valley Way canal path to the Turf Locks and back to the Double Locks.

Once complete, the men will be welcomed back with a free pint and hot Chunk pasty to enjoy the England v Scotland Six Nations match on large LED screens within the exclusive enlarged Hospiscare bar.

Wilkinson Grant are once again the main event sponsor, with the Double Locks providing the venue free of charge and St Austell Brewery donating the walkers pint of beer.

Last year saw 507 men raised £39,000 of essential funds to support Hospiscare, the local, independent charity which provides free, high quality end of life care to 750 patients and their families daily, across Exeter, Mid & East Devon.

Pictured are the lads and dads from the Under 16`s Exeter Saracens Rugby Club, who are very much looking forward to taking part for the third consecutive year. Hospiscare event fundraiser, Sharon Ewart, said "It`s always a special day with a great atmosphere of comradery between friends, family, work colleagues and clubs who all unite, recognising the difference that they are making from their sponsorship raised for our valued local charity".
