SUPERHEROES are needed for a sponsored walk for terminally ill children.

Haven House Hospice will be holding the Hero’s Sponsored Walk on Saturday May 1.

Starting and finishing at Haven House in Woodford Green volunteers are encouraged to dress as their favourite superhero or walk in memory of a personal hero.

The walk is part of Children’s Hospice Week which runs from May 14 to May 21 and a variety of entertainment and refreshments will be provided for those taking part.

Event Manager Hayley Bridge said: “The Heroes Sponsored Walk is a great opportunity for families to enjoy a fun day out and fundraise for Haven House Children’s Hospice at the same time. Children’s hospices are incredible places that help children who are not expected to reach adulthood and their families. We are asking people to support this event and raise money for Haven House during Children’s Hospice Week this year”.

The walk will begin at 11am and finish at 3pm.
