Women taking part in the St Giles Hospice Solstice Walk

More than 750 ladies donned fairy-themed magical dress and hit the streets of the city centre for the night-time stroll, which is set to raise an estimated £70,000 for the charity.

The Solstice Walk is the biggest single event in St Giles Hospice’s fundraising calendar. Helen Relihan, Head of Fundraising for St Giles Hospice, said:

> “The atmosphere of the Solstice Walk really is unbeatable, and I would like to say a huge thank-you to all the women who took part, as well as all those who helped it run so smoothly by helping out on the night or sponsoring the event.  
>  
> “Once again, our fabulous supporters have raised a magnificent sum for St Giles, which will make a real difference to the lives of local people with cancer and other serious illnesses.”

The money raised from this year’s Solstice Walk means the event has now generated almost £400,000 for hospice care since it was established in 2007.
