Chesterfield duo to walk 30 miles to Proact for Ashgate Hospicecare
Spireites fans Glynn Hinchcliffe and Keith Thomson-Pidd are preparing to walk 30 miles from the City Football Ground in Nottingham to the Proact Stadium in Chesterfield in support of Hospice Care Week.
The nine-and-a-half hour challenge, which takes place on Saturday 10th October, should see the pair reach Chesterfield in time for a big cheer from fans at the end of the of the Spireites’ home game against Gillingham.
Glynn says, “We’re doing this for a personal challenge but hope to raise much needed money for the hospice in the process.”
Hospice Care Week takes place between 5th and 11th October and aims to raise the profile of hospice care across the UK by encouraging businesses, schools and local communities to undertake a fun activity throughout the week.
Named recently as Chesterfield’s official charity partner this season, Ashgate Hospicecare looks after 2,000 patients every year and provides support to the people closest to them. To continue doing this, they need to raise £6 million this year alone to ensure their services are accessible to local people across North Derbyshire.
