"We urge our walkers to raise as much money in sponsorship as they can, every penny makes a difference, big or small.

"Just £17.71 could fund the cost of a nurse for one hour. Events like the Starlight Walk enable us to provide support for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families, we couldn’t do it without you."

The walk is 10km long and will take place in Sherburn in Elmet. The route will begin at the Old Girls School community centre and will pass through the neighbouring village, South Milford.
