Stars twinkle for Keech

A trio of national celebrities is set to add sparkle to Keech Hospice Care’s annual midnight fundraiser, now renamed the Star Walk.

Actor Jake Wood (aka EastEnders rogue Max Branning), former England footballer Wayne Bridge and international cricket legend Monty Panesar (pictured right) are supporting the 10 mile walk around Luton.

They’re calling on women across Beds, Herts and Milton Keynes to sign up for the town’s biggest girls’ night out.

It takes place on Saturday, September 14 at the slightly earlier time of 10.30pm, to give the ladies a chance to hit the town in their amazing outfits after they’ve completed the course.

Jake said: “I’ll be supporting the Star Walk and waiting to give everyone a big send off, so why not join me for a great night out? Sign up with all your mates and together we’ll make a huge difference for Keech hospice Care.”

Make it your reason to get fit or take part in memory of a loved one. Step out in style in your best fancy dress outfit or simply join in for the sheer buzz and excitement.

Whatever you decide to do, you can be sure your input will count.

Registration for the event is £15 with a suggested sponsorship of £100. Sign up online at www.keech.org.uk/starwalk
