THERE will be a fund-raising 5km walk/run for the Cancer Day Unit at Whiston Hospital on Saturday, August 11 at the Pilkington Sailing Club, Eccleston Mere.

The fund raising will form part of a unique day with sailing taster sessions, fishing and walking event costing £5 for a family of four, starts at 2pm and refreshments will be available on Burrows Lane.

Last year the event raised £2,000 for the day care unit, which helps people who are receiving cancer treatment, and organisers are hoping to beat that total this time around.

For more information or to book your sailing taster session, phone Freda on 01744 21770.
