The Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, are celebrating that over 1,000 people have already signed up for their 20th Walk for Wards at Wilton House this July, and are inviting even more walkers to join them.
Walk for Wards takes place on Sunday, July 6th and participants can walk 3k, 5k, 10k or the new 15k route to say thank you to a ward or department at Salisbury Hospital that has cared for them or their family, or to celebrate the memory of a loved one.
It is free to enter the sponsored walk and lunch is also provided. Everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy the Wilton House grounds and live music afterwards.
Stars Appeal Ambassador and Consultant Surgeon Graham Branagan said: “We are absolutely thrilled that we already have 1,000 people signed up. However, we need more to hit our 2,000 walker target to ensure we can raise as much money for the hospital as possible. So I’d encourage everyone reading this to sign up today and join us for what is a fantastic celebration at Wilton House on the 6th of July.”
Money raised by the event helps fund Stars Appeal projects across the hospital including state-of-the-art equipment, enhancements to buildings, and the charity’s ongoing projects like the Stars Appeal Wi-Fi and support for people with cancer.
Walk for Wards is held by kind permission of Stars Appeal President Lord Pembroke and Lady Pembroke, sponsored by Salisbury Reds, with support from Wilton and Salisbury Rotary Clubs, who marshal the event, and many other local people and organisations.
