A SPONSORED walk is being held to raise money for people suffering from life-limiting illnesses.

Tommy Miller, of Peterlee and District Lions, is organising the group’s sixth sponsored walk in aid of Alice House Hospice.

The circular route around Castle Eden Dene is around three miles, starting and finishing at the Hearts of Oak Pub, Peterlee.

It is on Sunday with registration at 9.30am and the walk starting at 10am.

Taking part are current and former Hartlepool United players including Tommy Miller, son of Tommy Miller Senior, who organises the walk.

Janice Forbes, community fundraiser at Alice House, said “Tommy and his fellow Lions are great supporters of Alice House and have raised over £26,000 for patient care since the first walk, including money raised in memory of Tommy’s wife Kath.

“It is always lovely to work with Tommy on this event and we would like to say a huge thank you for all his hard work over the years.”
