Walkers who sign up for the 10-mile night-time walk through Glasgow to raise funds for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres will have exclusive entry to an exhibition of photographs by Mary McCartney.
The Glasgow Night Hike on July 22 will start with a party at the Riverside Museum, which was designed by Zaha Hadid – whose first UK commission was the Maggie’s Centre in Kirkcaldy.
Refreshments for walkers will be offered at Glasgow Art Club, where a collection of photographs of people who use the Maggie’s Centres will be displayed for one night only.
The fundraisers aiming to beat last year’s £110,000 total from the first Glasgow Night Hike plan to make the event a festival on foot.
They will be helped by musicians, dancers and actors offering a taster of the Merchant City Festival.
Margaret Farrell, a teacher and community worker, who received help from the Maggie’s Centre in Glasgow in coping with cervical cancer, said: “I went into the Maggie’s Centre in Glasgow and was amazed. There was lots of information that made me feel this was something I could handle.
“I have been clear of cancer for three years but Maggie’s was essential to me when I was in the worst place I could be. I’m looking forward to the Night Hike.”
Registration for the Night Hike is £30 per person or £23 per person in a team of four or more. Visit www.maggiescentres.org/glasgownighthike or call 0300 123 1801.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
