Lincoln Strides Out For Charity
by Baron Halpenny.
Date: 10 June 2014
It was a fabulous weekend on the 8th and 9th June as two great events took place in and around Lincoln for charity.
"One Night in a Onesie" Moonlight Sleepwalk 2014 - Lincoln
Saturday night saw the eighth annual Moonlight Walk to help raise much needed funds for the St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice that was this year a 'one night in a onesie' themed event.
Extra special was that a new World Record was set at the Yarborough Leisure Centre in Lincoln for the largest gathering of people wearing flashing headgear, which made for a wonderful and entertaining sight as well as setting off the mood for a fun night to raise money.
Hundreds of sponsored walkers of all ages took part in the 10k walk that started at 10pm before returning to Yarbrough Leisure Centre for a well deserved bacon roll and hot drink
St Barnabas Hospice Mission Statement:
“St Barnabas provides specialist palliative and end of life care so that everyone can access and receive the support they need to live well and ease the process of dying.
“Honouring life by providing treatment, care and comfort to those we serve.”

Lincoln Cancer Research UK's Race for Life 2014
Sunday saw thousands of ladies and young children run, walk and dance their way around the popular Lincolnshire Showground for the Lincoln Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.
The event was to raise money to help fight cancer by encouraging women of all ages, shapes and sizes to run or walk a 5k or 10k route.
The money raised is intended to go towards Cancer Research UK’s doctors, nurses and scientists to advance research in order to save lives of men, women and children.
Many did the Lincoln Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life for everyone who has and is suffering from cancer but others had their own poignant stories to tell.
