MORE than 200 walkers took to the sands at Morecambe Bay to raise money for Bay Hospitals Charity.

The group were led on the eight-mile route by Queen's Guide to the Sands Michael Wilson, setting off from Arnside Promenade and returning to Kents Bank.

Bay Hospitals Charity holds and manages charitable money given to hospitals within the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT).

Judith Read, charity manager for Bay Hospitals Charity, said: “It has been one of the best Cross Bay Walks ever.

“We can’t thank all of our 240 walkers enough for joining us and making it such a great day. We all experienced something really special and together have made some amazing memories.

“The money we raise from this annual event helps us to make a difference to the patients coming into our hospitals and the community we live in. This support helps us to bring about changes and improvements and for that we are very thankful.”
