MORE than 2,000 men marched through Plymouth on Saturday to show their support for one of the city's best-loved charities - with a pasty, pint, and thrilling game of rugby waiting for them at their destination.
The Men's Day Out event organized by St Luke's Hospice returned on Saturday and saw 2,000 men walk a 12km route, starting and finishing at Plymouth Albion's Brickfields ground in Devonport.
The annual event is the biggest men's charity walk in the South West, and many of those taking part stepped out in memory of loved ones cared for by the charity.
Sponsored by Jem Scaffolding Ltd, the day of fun and banter was enjoyed by men of all ages and fitness levels, raising much-needed funds to help St Luke's continue its compassionate care for local people with terminal illness in their last months, weeks, and days of life.
The charity, which has been providing its service free of charge to patients for 40 years, relies on the support it receives from the community to do this.
Looking after people with cancer, motor neurone disease, and other progressive, life-limiting conditions, the hospice team provides not only expert medical care but vital emotional support for patients and their relatives and friends, making a difference at the toughest of times.
