It was a case of ‘Dame for A Laugh’ on Saturday for Eastbourne’s first five kilometre walk with a unique twist – all participants completed the walk dressed as panto dames!
Brighton’s Billie Lewis hosted the pre-walk warm up pulling up on stage Eastbourne’s game for a laugh mayor, Cllr Mike Thompson.
The walk will become an annual event for Eastbourne, raising vital funds for St Wilfrid’s Hospice, Eastbourne. Since 1982, the hospice has cared for over 15,500 terminally-ill patients and continues to work within the local community to transform views on end of life care, including opening a new 20 bedroom hospice later in the year.
