Solicitors take on Midnight Walk challenge for St Luke’s Hospice

A team of solicitors from Poole Alcock in Crewe are tackling the St Luke’s Hospice Midnight Walk for charity.

The 10-mile round trip, which starts and finishes at Reaseheath College, takes in Nantwich Road which means the all-female team will be walking past their offices.

Family Solicitor Nicola Deakin is looking forward to the annual fundraiser on Saturday (June 26) and sees it as a great team-bonding exercise.

“After lockdown and the majority of us being deployed to home working, I wanted to do something to get the team together,” she said.

“I saw the Midnight Walk advertised and felt it was perfect.

“As a firm we have always tried to support local causes and done a lot for charity over the years so it was ideal. Bring it on!”

After last year’s ‘Virtual’ Midnight Walk, St Luke’s are keen to bring people together and rebuild the event that’s been an annual success since 2005.

Andy Bailey, Corporate Partnerships Manager for St Luke’s, said: “The Midnight Walk can be an emotionally-charged event, with some families walking in memory of loved ones.

“This year will have added poignancy, as it will be the first participation event we have been able to stage since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic back in March last year.

“Thank you to everyone that has decided to give up their Saturday night for St Luke’s, we really do appreciate your support.”
