A group of close friends from Royton are taking on an emotional 90-mile walk in memory of local dad David Brearley, who sadly passed away at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice on March 19 this year.

David's son and his friends take on the challenge that will see them walk from David’s beloved caravan in Grange-over-Sands all the way back to Dr Kershaw’s in Royton, raising funds for the hospice that cared for him with such compassion in his final days.

The walk begins on Thursday, September 11, setting off from Grange and covering three demanding days of walking - Grange-over-Sands to Bethlam Bethlam to Clitheroe, Clitheroe to Royton finishing at Dr Kershaws.

After-party celebration

To round it all off, there’ll be a community celebration at The Trapdoor in Royton on Friday, September 19 from 7pm.

Expect an emotional homecoming, with music, a DJ, raffle prizes, and plenty of drinks as we toast the team’s amazing effort and celebrate the life of David.

Everyone is welcome - whether you knew David, supported the walk, or just want to show your support for a brilliant cause.

All proceeds raised from the after-party and raffle will also go directly to Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.

Let’s rally together to support this unforgettable tribute and help raise vital funds in David’s name.

If you’d like to donate a raffle prize, please contact Rachel at The Trapdoor.

Please support if you can - donations, shares and encouragement all mean the world.
