Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s Walk in the Dark is marking a major milestone this year as the event turns 18.

The overnight charity walk takes place on Saturday 25 April, raising funds for Rosemere’s cancer centre at Royal Preston Hospital.

Participants will walk an 11-mile route from Chorley and South Ribble Hospital to Royal Preston.

Organisers hope more than 500 walkers will turn out again, after raising over £60,000 last year.

Registration costs £15, with free parking and shuttle buses provided.
