Local charity organises Easter “Bunny Hop” Walk

The Neuro Therapy Centre is encouraging people from across the region to sign-up to its first Easter Walk.

The walk is aimed at people of all ages and can be carried out at a location chosen by the participants. “We know from our supporters who took part in virtual events last year that being able to choose their own distance, location and challenge date, really helps people to take part and makes an event so much more accessible,” said Shannah Goodrick, Community and Corporate Fundraiser at the Neuro Therapy Centre.

“We’d love as many people to take part as possible and we have even created a fun downloadable set of bunny ears so that they can be created to wear either during the walk or as part of the celebration on completion. If lockdown has taught us anything it’s how we can all benefit from taking exercise, especially outside on a spring day. Exercise is a big part of what we offer to people with neurological conditions at the Centre, and through taking part in our Easter walk people will be helping to support this work,” added Shannah.

Over the last year the Neuro Therapy Centre has continued to support people with neurological conditions such as MS and Parkinsons Disease across North Wales, Cheshire and the Wirral through creating telephone and online services, as well as continuing face-to-face support when restrictions allowed. “Each week the Centre costs £10,000 to run and our events and fundraising challenges play a big part in helping the Centre to continue to offer its services. We are just asking for a small registration fee for this event, as we know that raising sponsorship can be a challenge during lockdown, but we hope that people will come together to help us raise as much as possible to help support our life-changing services,” said Shannah.

People can take part in the walk between 29^th March and 11^th April. The price of registration is £5 for adults, £2 for children and £2 for dogs. To sign up for the walk and receive the downloads people should go to the Neuro Therapy Centre website at https://www.neurotherapycentre.org/Event/easter-walk
