Royton Friends Embark on 90-Mile Memorial Walk for Local Dad
A group of close friends from Royton will lace up their boots next week for an emotional 90-mile journey in memory of David Brearley, the beloved local father who died at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice on March 19.
David’s son and his friends begin their three-day trek on Thursday, September 11, departing from David’s cherished caravan in Grange-over-Sands and walking the entire route back to the Royton hospice that cared for him during his final days. The demanding schedule covers Grange-over-Sands to Bethlam on day one, Bethlam to Clitheroe on day two, and Clitheroe to Royton on the final stretch, ending at Dr Kershaw’s doorstep.
The community will welcome the weary walkers home on Friday, September 19, with a celebration at The Trapdoor in Royton starting at 7pm. The evening promises music, a DJ, raffle prizes, and drinks as neighbors gather to honor both the team’s effort and David’s memory. All proceeds from the after-party and raffle will benefit Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.
Anyone wishing to contribute raffle prizes should contact Rachel at The Trapdoor. The walk’s fundraising efforts continue through their JustGiving page as the group aims to turn their personal loss into vital support for the hospice that served their friend and father with compassion.
