Bexleyheath Broadway Shopping Centre will be hosting the Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice Moonlit Walk for the third year next month. The night-time 10km walk from the Broadway Shopping Centre and back will be taking place on Saturday 13th September and registration is now open for this ladies only event.

Comedienne Jo Brand is backing the fundraiser and hopes lots of local people will join her at the start for some jokes. Jo has just taken part in the Moonlit Walk ‘selfies’ campaign on Facebook, saying: “MOONLIT SELFIE! Have you joined the party yet? Join me, Jo Brand and party in your PJs at this fabulous event!”

Jo Brand who is hosting The Great British Bake Off – An Extra Slice on BBC1 this month, is encouraging any ladies not yet registered to sign up and take part.

Fundraising Manager, Sarah O’Halloran, said: “We are delighted to have Jo Brand on board this year supporting the Hospice! Our hospice team of 40 nurses (and counting) is calling on all local ladies to join in the fun and party in our pyjamas as we walk 10km in the Moonlight. So ladies, get a team together, get your bunny ears on and get ready to party!”

To register for the walk go to www.communityhospice.org.uk, call 020 8319 9230 or email info@gbch.org.uk.

Registration costs £15 in advance or £25 on the night per person and includes a branded sash and a medal for every walker.

The Moonlit Walk raises funds for Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice, a local Hospice charity that provides free specialist end of life nursing, medical care and support for people living in the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
