Stockton Midnight Walk 2009 - General Information

Last year over 550 women took part in our first Midnight Walk and raised over £65,000 for Butterwick Hospice Care.

Mayor of Stockton Launches Walk

Following this success we are calling all women to join our 2009 walk along the riverside in Stockton on Saturday 11th July. Get your friends, family and colleagues together for a night out with a difference.

The sponsored walk will raise money for Butterwick Adult Hospice and Butterwick House Children’s Hospice. The adult hospice provides care and support to local people with life-limiting illnesses, and their families through the in patient unit, day care, out of hour’s service, complementary therapies, family support and counseling service. The children’s hospice provides respite and end of life care to children with short and precious lives from across the North East.

last year's walkFifteen ladies from Durham University, Queen’s Campus, Stockton took part in the walk last year in memory of their friends and colleagues, Pat Bradburn, Margaret Ritchie and Linda Bromley. Pat worked at the university campus for 10 years and was a well respected and loved member of the Central Administration Team.

Andrea Hagan from the campus said ‘’Pat bore her illness with dignity and was an inspiration to us all, taking part in the walk and raising funds for the hospice who cared for her, was a fitting tribute to her memory’’. This year the ladies from the university are continuing their support for the hospice and will be serving up the bacon sandwiches at the finish line!
