FAMILIES are being encouraged to get creative for a sponsored walk in aid of dementia care.

The award-winning Bolton Family group is calling on the public to do a ‘10k their way’ on their own or their bubble with a mixture of activities to achieve a 10k target.

But for those not able to do 10k of exercise, 10 meaningful tasks will do, such as baking 10 cakes or writing 10 poems.

Participants are being asked to undertake the 10k their way the week beginning October 26.

Kerry Lyons, Admiral Nurse for Bolton said: “The '10k - 10 of 10 Your Way’ is a great way to show your support to the hospital.

“The valuable funds raised will help Bolton Hospital to achieve its objectives in continuing to improve the in-patient environments, care and support on offer to Bolton residents living with dementia.

“We hope that involvement will create an exciting opportunity for you to have fun, get creative and raise vital funds for Dementia improvement.”
