Midnight Memories walk
T&L’s own Tania Toohey and Nicky Peckham joined over 400 women to participate in the 5th Ladies Only Midnight Memories sponsored walk in support of local charity St Raphael’s Hospice. The walk, which was just over five miles, starting and finishing at the hospice, raised £50,000 and the stout-hearted participants all wore yellow curly wigs and t-shirts. Well done ladies!
