Two hundred dogs and their owners will be putting their best paws forward to raise money for Woodlands Hospice.
Walton MP Steve Rotheram joined councillors, dogs and walkers at Woodlands to get a taste of what the ‘Woofs and Wellies’ sponsored walk on September 16 will be like.
The 5K route through Croxteth Park will take approximately an hour depending on the pace of the dog – and owner.
Carole Riley, Communications and Fundraising Manager at the Hospice in Fazakerley said: “We’re expecting a great turn-out for this event, and we were delighted that Mr Rotheram was able to come along to help us launch it.
“We’re aiming to collar several thousand pounds through the walk, and I’d urge dog owners to get their names down soon, as we can’t have more than 200 canine entries.”
Registration is £5 per dog with each owner being asked to raise a minimum of £40 per dog sponsorship money. A certificate and goody bag will be given for each dog at the end of the walk. Advance registration is essential as entries on the day will not be allowed. There will be staggered start times between 11.00 a.m. and 12 noon.
Closing date for entries is Friday 7th September.
