On Saturday 7 March, Willen Hospice is opening registration for ladies to take part and start to raise as much money as possible. Willen Hospice needs people to sign up and take part in MK’s Midnight Moo – places are strictly limited to 1,000 participants.
Entry is just £15 per person and there is no limit or minimum amount you need to raise – but there will be prizes for those ladies bringing in the most sponsorship; says Paul Hinson, Chief Executive. “What better way to see Milton Keynes in a new light than by taking part in the MK Midnight Moo? Grab a friend, sister, mother, auntie or anyone you like to join the ‘herd’ for one the biggest and most exciting events Milton Keynes has seen.”
The MK Midnight Moo is the first major event created by Willen Hospice events team and they hope it will raise lots of much needed income for the Hospice to prevent another shortfall in the next financial year. Paul adds: “This is going to be a challenging year for the Hospice but we are certainly up for it and ready to do all we can to make this year a success. However, without the support and help from the public we wouldn’t be able to provide the care we do, and we are extremely grateful for that support.”
Entrants must be 16 or over (under 18s need the permission from a guardian and must be accompanied by a responsible adult on the walk) and all entrants will receive an MK Midnight Moo T-Shirt, refreshments throughout the course and a medal on finishing.
The MK Midnight Moo circuit will start at Midsummer Place, and head East to Willen Lake. On circling the lake, past the Hospice, the walk will head towards the half-way point at Bury Lawn School and onwards to the concrete cows at Bancroft then the homerun back at Midsummer Place.
The entire route will be lit and manned by marshals and Willen Hospice is also looking for volunteers – male and female – to help out on the night. If interested, call the MK Midnight Moo hotline on MK 306698 or email florence@mkmidnightmoo.com
Online registrations will be taken from Saturday 7 March at www.mkmidnightmoo.com – this is the official site for the event where you can also find up-to-date information.
