Hundreds of walkers pulled on their boots and trekked a 10-mile route along the Llangollen Canal to raise money for Hope House Children’s Hospices last Sunday.
Supporters took on the ever-popular annual walk, which started at the Trevor Basin in Llangollen, before heading over the world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and following the canal all the way to The Poachers pub at Chirk.
They they had refreshments before heading back where they received their special medals at the finish line.
Walkers raised an incredible £28,000 so far with money still being counted.
Fundraiser Vicky Bradbeer said: “It was wonderful to see this well-supported event sell out again and raise such an incredible amount of money.
“We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended and raised the vital fund we need to make sure our hospices are here to help every local child with a life-threatening condition to live their best life.
“We simply couldn’t do it without the incredible support we get from our community.”
The event was sponsored this year by Chirk-based Kronospan, who also had a team walking on the day, as well as supporting partners Roche, Caffi Wylfa and Trederwen Springs.
