Russ Spencer encourages walkers to sign up
Russ Spencer, who is part of the band Scooch, will start the women’s health event which sees walkers take a 1km, 5km or 10km stroll at twilight to help raise money for life-changing equipment and treatment at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Funds raised at the 2016 event will go towards Myosure equipment that will help diagnose and treat cancer of the womb and Botox injections to help treat women with overactive bladders.
Russ Spencer, said, “I’m very proud to be supporting Bournemouth Hospital Charity and I’m looking forward to seeing lots of walkers at the starting line. It doesn’t matter which distance you sign up to, what matters is that you are supporting your local hospital.
“I wanted to support the hospital as my mum was treated there and I wanted to show my gratitude. I hope lots of people get behind their local hospital and sign up to raise funds for this life-changing equipment.”
