Cousins Fin 18, Jake 12, Dan 8, Harper 8 and Lucy 5 are all taking part in this Friday’s Star Trekk walk in Southport in remembrance of their Grandma Irene Stevenson who died in Queenscourt Hospice last summer.
Dan, aged 8 said: “We want to give something back to the people who looked after Banma, so they can keep looking after people who need their help.”
The cousins will be walking Star Trekk with Irene’s three sons Stewart, Gary and Colin Stevenson.
They will be among hundreds of walkers taking part in one of Southport’s biggest – and most fun – fundraising events this Friday (6th May 2022).
Entry is £25, and you can sign up here: www.queenscourt.org.uk/startrekk
All Trekkers will receive a t-shirt and medal.
Every single penny really does count, and by supporting Star Trekk, one of Queenscourt’s key fundraising events, you will be helping #teamqueenscourt to continue providing exceptional palliative care for local people across West Lancashire, Formby and Southport, when they need it the most.
A Queenscourt Hospice spokesperson said: “Since Star Trekk began 16 years ago our wonderful Trekkers have raised over £870,000!
“The evening starts at Pleasureland, Southport with a fun party atmosphere where you can enjoy the pre-Trekk entertainment, with the walk starting at 7.30pm.
“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.”
