Maggie’s Culture Crawl is to hit the streets of Liverpool this Friday.
The charity walking event sees participants walking together for an evening of fun, food and culture – all to help people living with cancer. All funds raise help Maggie’s Merseyside at Clatterbridge provide free practical and emotional support for people living with cancer.
The event gives participants a chance to see the city of Liverpool in a new light as they walk 10km and get exclusive night-time access to some of the city’s cultural icons. The route takes in Victoria Museum and Gallery, Liverpool Medical Institution Venues, FACT, Liverpool Parish Church, the bombed out church and ending at the Museum of Liverpool and. At each venue walkers will be treated to cultural delights from classical music to dance, street theatre to a ukulele band.
As the number of people living with cancer increases it is essential that they are able to find the practical and emotional support they need to cope with the changes that life after cancer brings. Maggie’s Merseyside offers a way of living well with cancer. Kathy Wight, Maggie’s Centre Head is taking part this year said ” Last year’s event was such a huge success, a fantastic atmosphere and our participants had so much fun – we know this year is going to be even bigger and better. It’s such a great evening out, the chance to gain exclusive access to some of most famous buildings along with hidden gems with food, music and fun along the way. Most importantly, all money raised will help ensure me and my colleagues can continue to provide free, professional support to all those living with cancer who need it across the region.”
