A Queenscourt Hospice spokesperson said:
“Since Star Trekk began 19 years ago our wonderful trekkers have raised over £1 million.
“The evening starts at Adventure Coast Southport with a fun party atmosphere where you can enjoy the pre Trekk entertainment.
“The walk is a healthy, energising and fun event open to everyone, you can take part on your own, with family and friends, with your exercise class, with your work colleagues, with your school, the choice is yours….
“Many Trekkers walk in memory of a loved one or because Queenscourt has supported them personally, while others take part for a fun night out and to raise money for their local hospice.
“Whether you are a ‘brand new’ trekker or you have been trekking with us before we look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a fun filled evening.”
All Trekkers will receive a t-shirt and a medal.
This year’s Star Trekk is kindly sponsored by: Specsavers; Slimming World; EFT Group; and Adventure Coast Southport.
