VIDEO: THE 11th annual St Rocco’s Hospice Starlight Walk has raised £125k in pledges taking the total amount made in donations since the first event to around £2 million, involving around 14,000 women!

An estimated 2,000 women took to the streets of Warrington during the night to take part in the event at Orford Park’s Jubilee Hub.

Mayor of Warrington Cllr Faisal Rashid, who is a trustee at St Rocco’s, was on hand to launch the walkers on their way.

Hospice Matron Alison White, who said she never ceased to be amazed by the inspirational women taking part, paid tribute to Labour MP Jo Cox who tragically lost her life this week.
