EASTER BUNNY LEADS RABBIT RUN FOR ROSEMERE!

The 5k run/walk on Easter Sunday morning started and finished at the
town’s Orchid Café Bar, where proprietor Linda Sanders and her team
provided free refreshments for finishers, held a raffle, awarded
Easter bonnet and fancy dress prizes and had organised additional fun
attractions.

Lancashire Police sent three of its latest vehicles for visitors to
explore. There were also fire engine tours courtesy of Lancashire Fire
& Rescue Penwortham, a bird of prey display, face painting and a visit
by Alan Atkinson’s steam wagon. Linda said: “Thank you to everyone
who supported our Easter fundraising event.

“We are especially grateful to John Wiseman and his daughter Sophie
for planning the run/walk, to the emergency services for displaying
their vehicles and to everyone, who entered into the spirit to help
make it such good fun.”

Yvonne Stott, events and community fundraiser for Rosemere Cancer
Foundation, said: “Congratulations to Linda and everyone involved in
her event. They made Easter Sunday extra special for both ourselves
and a lot of local families, who turned out in support.”

Rosemere Cancer Foundation works to bring world class cancer
treatments and services to cancer patients from throughout Lancashire
and South Cumbria being treated at Rosemere Cancer Centre, the
region’s specialist cancer treatment and radiotherapy centre at the
Royal Preston Hospital, and also at another eight local hospital
cancer units across the two counties.

The charity funds cutting-edge equipment, clinical research, staff
training and innovative services and initiatives that the NHS cannot
afford in order to make patients’ cancer journey more effective,
comfortable and stress-free. For further information on its work,
