It's back with a twist

This summer, grab your chance to get glammed up and outshine the stars themselves for the 15th anniversary Twilight Walk – Twilight with a Twist.

Everyone is invited to join the fun and raise much-needed money to shine a light for local patients and families facing terminal illness.

Twilight with a Twist will take place on Saturday 10 July and there are two ways to take part: participants can join the Hospiscare team and fellow Twilighters in Exmouth to walk either the 13 or 6 mile route or choose to walk a route of their choice in their local area. Whichever way participants decide to take part, all walkers will receive their own Twilight t-shirt, a special 15th anniversary walker’s medal and an all-important invite to the after party!

As the local hospice charity for Exeter, Mid and East Devon, Hospiscare cares for over 2,000 patients every year. The local charity relies on the support of the community to raise 82% of its funds, meaning that this care is provided at no cost to its patients and families.

By answering the call to join Twilight with a Twist and raising sponsorship for Hospiscare, every participant will make an incredible difference to end-of-life care in their community.

Hospiscare is appealing for as many people as possible to take part in this year’s event as COVID-19 has had a huge impact on the charity’s fundraising.

Michael Maltby, CEO of local company Jurassic Fibre, which is sponsoring the event for the second consecutive year, said: “COVID-19 has hit hard, but Hospiscare hasn’t stopped providing award-winning care to local people facing terminal illness. This is why we are honoured to be supporting Twilight Walk for its 15th anniversary year. I’m sure this year’s special event will be the perfect example of how people can come together to make a real difference in their local community.”

To sign up for the glitziest fundraising event of the year, RSVP to Hospiscare by visiting www.hospiscare.co.uk/twilight. Sign up by Sunday 25 April to purchase your tickets at the special rate of £15.
