What do you get when you cross a well organised charity walk from
Malvern to Worcester, a gloriously sunny day and a lot of happy people relaxing
in the sunshine at Worcester Racecourse? Answer : The Free Radio
Worcestershire Walk for Kids on Sunday, which raised a fabulous £124,070 for
three really worthy local charities: Acorns Children’s Hospice, Megan Baker
Home and New Hope .
The Racecourse was proud to host the finish of this wonderful event for the
second year running, in which 3,000 men, women and children signed up for the
walk to raise money for the charities. The Racecourse was a sea of bright
green, as the walkers dressed in lime green wigs, skirts and t-shirts were
greeted by well wishers and supporters, all enjoying the live music outside the
Grandstand. Free massage offered by the University was even on hand to
ease weary limbs. All in all, it was an excellent day and we look
forward to welcoming many of those who enjoyed their day here on Sunday, back
to the racecourse for the race days and evenings this summer.
