Midnight Walk - FAQs
How much money do walkers need to raise?
Each walker is asked to pay a £20 non-refundable registration fee to secure a place on The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice Midnight Walk. We have not set a minimum sponsorship amount that you need to raise but we do ask that you raise as much as you can for the Hospice! We will send out sponsor forms to you for you to use but the easiest and best way of raising money is to set up an online sponsor form account and promote it to all your friends, family and colleagues. It means you don't have to collect all that cash and cheques and chase people who have pledged to help, it's all done for you!
The sponsorship money that you raise by taking part in the Glasgow Midnight Walk challenge will enable us to help terminally-ill patients face their own personal challenges and make the most of the time they have remaining. The success of this fundraising event is down to you and your fundraising efforts. Every penny you raise helps! Please hand in your sponsorship monies to the Hospice within 6 weeks following the event, by Monday 28th June 2010.

Do I need to train and what should I wear?
