INVITATION: Fundraising stroll, for Marie Curie nursing care in the Highlands

I am inviting local walkers to make the most of the great British summer evenings by taking part in a fabulous evening of sunset strolling, picnicking and entertainment, taking place at Beaufort Castle.

Walk Ten Inverness is one of a series of unique twilight 10k walks, taking place at stunning locations around the UK this summer.  Beaufort Castle is not open to the public so this is a unique opportunity to get up close to the beautiful and picturesque castle.  Walk Ten Inverness, is supported by HomeServe, and will help to fund more nursing care for terminally ill patients in the Highlands.

Please sign up for our Walk Ten, sponsored by HomeServe.  The date is 4th September and the venue is the stunning grounds of Beaufort Castle.  The castle is now privately owned so this is a unique opportunity to get up close and see the fabulous building.  The evening will be brought to a conclusion by some food and fizz (or a flask of something hot) and at 10pm we will celebrate our nurses who will be starting their shift at that time across the country.  To register, contact 08700 340 040 or click here www.mariecurie.org.uk/walkten

There is no minimum sponsorship, we are asking participants to raise just as much as they can and we aim to attract around 500 people to this magical evening which will begin at 6pm with a 10k walk around the grounds of Beaufort Castle.  As dusk settles we’ll be lighting up the night, ending in a summer night’s celebration with entertainment and live music while you enjoy a roast hog bap, home baking, hot tea or soup or perhaps a glass of something cool and refreshing! Bring your own picnic or enjoy what’s available.
