Light up the night in support of the Marie Curie Nurses
Take part in Walk Ten Northern Ireland in 2013 and raise money to support the work of Marie Curie Nurses in your area.
Join us at Stormont Estate in Belfast on Friday 30th August or the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh on Saturday 7th September for a twilight 10k walk.
The 2012 event was attended by over 2,000 walkers. Together, the walkers and their supporters, helped raise more than £150,000, funding over 7500 hours of Marie Curie Nursing care and support across Northern Ireland.
Walk 10k with friends, family or colleagues in celebration of the Marie Curie Nurses in your local community. Relax afterwards with fellow walkers, enjoying your picnic with live entertainment and stunning performances by Fire Poi artists.
For those walking in memory of a loved one, candle bags will be available on the night for you to write a message of remembrance.
The celebrations will continue with a brilliant firework display at 10pm, in tribute to our Marie Curie Nurses. 10pm marks the time at which many Marie Curie Nurses begin their night shifts, providing care and support to people with terminal illnesses and their families in their own homes.
Fundraising
With your help and support Walk Ten Northern Ireland will raise money for the care of people with terminal illnesses and provide support for their families. Every £20 you raise will allow Marie Curie to provide another hour of care.
It is £10 to register (£20 on the night) and aim to raise £100.
