NURSES from Victoria Hospital's Coronory Care Ward (pictured) are putting on their walking boots and stepping out in support of the British Heart Foundation.

They are to take part in the charity's annual walkabout 2000 raising money to help fight heart and circulatory disease.

The four-mile walk, starting at the De Vere Hotel, East Park Drive, on Septemebr 10 at 11am, will take the bridle path around the back of the zoo through Heron's Reach.

An eight-mile walk, for the more energetic, continues around Stanley Park. The Blackpool walk is one of 70 sponsored walks taking place throughout the country.

To take part in the walk, write to BHF, c/o 33 Sarmatian Fold, Ribchester, Preston, PR3 3YG.
