A hospice has launched its biggest fundraising event of the year.

The 2015 Midnight Walk for The Martlets Hospice will be on June 13, with hundreds of women of all ages expected to take part.

Previous midnight walkers were invited to a launch party at the Seattle Hotel in Brighton this week, which included guest speakers and a chance to order a limited-edition pink T-shirt to wear at the event.

Antonia Shepherd, events manager at the Hove hospice, said: “Every year, hundreds of women walk through the streets of Brighton and Hove at midnight to have fun, raise money and complete a personal challenge.”

The event, which sets off from Brighton Racecourse, will have three routes this year for the first time.

The six and 13-mile routes will start at the usual time of midnight, but those taking on the new 20-mile challenge will start at 10pm.
