St Mary’s Hospice is hoping to have a barking-mad day out on Sunday 11th September when they host their first ever sponsored walk for dogs. We hope that a maximum of 100 owners will come forward to put their pooch to the test.
“Paws for Thought”, in memory of Family Support Team Leader Mo Kirk, who sadly passed away recently, covers 1.5 miles and will take place from Glaxo Sports and Social club starting at 1.30pm.
The course takes the owners and dogs (which must be on a lead) towards the coast and then across the slag banks on a circuit of the playing fields. It is then back to the entrance for well-deserved refreshments for owners and dogs.
Event organiser, Zoe Guest said: "Our new Paws for Thought walk in Ulverston is an ideal opportunity for dog owners to get out with their pets and friends and family to enjoy a scenic walk and raise much needed funds for their local hospice. We'd like as many people to join in as possible. Our dear colleague Mo came up with the name for this event and we would like it to be a success in tribute to her.”
All dogs who take part will receive an award for their participation in the event.
Places on the sponsored walk can be booked in advance or will be taken on the day. However, it will be on a first come basis. Registration is £5 per dog and owners will be issued with a sponsor form to try and raise as much money as they can for St Mary’s.
