Falkirk residents urged to get walking shoes on to support Maggie's Forth Valley

People across Falkirk are being asked to get their hiking boots on in support of Maggie's Forth Valley, as its launches its annual fundraiser.

The 10k Meander to Maggie's sets off from the iconic Kelpies on Friday May 27, and ends outside the centre at Forth Valley Hospital in Larbert with a BBQ, drinks and a DJ to welcome people over the finish line.

It’s free to register with a £150 individual sponsorship target.

Everyone taking part is being asked to arrive at the Kelpies for 4.30pm - there'll be a fitness instructor do a 10-minute warm up from 4.45pm and then the meander will start prompt at 5pm.

Cristina Pouso, Centre Fundraising Manager says "We are very excited to bring back our Meander to Maggie’s.

"It’s a magnificent meander from the Kelpies all the way to the Maggie’s centre.

"We are so lucky to have a free BBQ again from our friends at the Rapid Relief Team, a free bar and a DJ providing the tunes."

Since Maggie’s opened their first centre in 1996, the charity has developed a programme of support that is proven to help people with cancer and their loved ones take back control.

Maggie’s Forth Valley relies almost entirely on voluntary donations to be able to offer this high quality, professional support.
