Mersey Walk of Hope

Friday 26th October

The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is once again joining forces with Liverpool Unites for Alder Hey to organise the second Mersey Walk of Hope and you’re invited! Join over a thousand people as we walk to raise money for two of the region’s best loved hospitals. Anyone can take part in this moonlit walk along the world-famous Liverpool waterfront, with a choice of 5k or 10k route.

Look out for the Juice FM stage and Leanne from Juice FM Breakfast. With live music and fire-eaters entertaining you at the start and a delicious hog-roast to welcome you across the finish line, this year’s event will be even bigger and better than before.

The money raised from the Mersey Walk of Hope will help thousands of cancer patients and children at both The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity and Alder Hey’s Children’s Hospital, funding some of the life-changing appeals that make both hospitals so special in people’s hearts.

The Charities

The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity

The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is the only charity raising money to directly benefit Clatterbridge cancer patients and their families across the region. The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is dedicated to providing outstanding cancer care to around 27,000 patients each year at centres in Wirral, satellite radiotherapy centre in Liverpool and a network of chemotherapy units across Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire.

The money raised helps Clatterbridge to offer the most up to date treatment, support vital research, treat patients with world class equipment and provide life changing support services that would otherwise be unavailable.

Liverpool Unites for Alder Hey Imagine Appeal

Liverpool Unites, the official charity of the Liverpool ECHO and Post, has a new fundraising target of raising £500,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. All money raised will be used to build the play areas in the New Children’s Health Park which is due to be completed in 2014. Liverpool Unites symbolises how the city can come together to help those in need, and the charity is now ready to take on a new challenge that will help children across the whole region. It will dedicate its fundraising efforts offer the coming years, until the target is reached, to raise money for these essential facilities at Alder Hey.

Charlie’s Story

When Charlie was twelve, his appearance changed so dramatically in just two months, his parents barely recognised him. He had a brain tumour, thankfully the tumour was successfully removed but four years later the Witters’ worst fears were realised when Charlie was diagnosed with another large tumour.

In the months that followed Charlie had to undergo intensive and often difficult treatment at both The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and Alder Hey. Thankfully Charlie made a full recovery and decided to take part in last year’s Mersey Walk of Hope to support the two hospitals close to his heart. As Karen, Charlie’s mum, explains "Charlie wanted to give something back to both Alder Hey and Clatterbridge to thank them for the way they have cared for him. His experience was made so much easier but the staff of Clatterbridge and Alder Hey who have been excellent and really put us at ease. Charlie was so grateful that his heart is now set on a career in medicine so he can help others in the future."
