These ladies are putting their best foot forward for a good cause – and are now calling on women across the county to get their pyjamas on for a fundraiser for Shropshire's Hope House Children's Hospice.

The hospice, based at Morda near Oswestry, has launched its first Midnight Pyjama Walk to raise money to help local terminally ill children and their families.

The event will take place on the night of June 15, starting from the hospice gardens in Morda.

Vanessa Thomas, hospice fundraising manager said: "We are appealing for 250 ladies to pull on their PJs and come and take part. We have a lovely marquee in the hospice gardens to start from and plan to decorate it with lanterns and glittering lights.

"Everyone taking part will be given an illuminated starry headset to wear along the four mile route into Oswestry and home again for refreshments and bacon butties." It costs £15 to register and groups of five or more walkers can sign up together at a discounted price of just £12 each.

Each entrant is also asked to raise sponsorship to help the hospice.

People can sign up online at www.hopehouse.org.uk or call the fundraising office for a registration form on (01691) 671671.
