Acorns Dog Walk

Sunday 27th May 2012, 10am, Sutton Park - Birmingham

This new event will see dogs take their owner out for a 3km or 6km walk around the beautiful surroundings of Sutton Park to help raise vital funds for their local children’s hospice.

Entry is £5 per dog and the whole family can come to support your pet's efforts walking around this stunning landscape which is included in English Heritage's list of historic parks and gradens.  People can still take part without their dog but will have to pay the entry fee of £5.

Acorns provides care and support for children and young people with life limiting or life threatening conditions. These children often need care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  It costs £750 for one child’s care per day and we rely on voluntary donations for the majority of our income.
