Furley Page Foundation urges community to get behind Pilgrims Hospices fundraiser The Furley Page Foundation, a charitable organisation set up by leading Kent law firm Furley Page, is encouraging walkers and runners of all ages to turn out in force this autumn for the sixth Light Up the City event, in support of Pilgrims Hospices. Last year the Foundation, which is the main sponsor of the event for the second successive year, helped galvanise more than 800 people to take to the streets, raising £20,500. This year, members of Furley Page will once again be among the enthusiastic supporters who will be grabbing glow-in-the-dark accessories and donning luminous outfits to walk or run around Canterbury. The event, which takes place on Saturday October 22, is set to be the best and brightest yet, with a novel new night-time 3km lantern walk or 5km run around the city walls. For the first time walkers will be given a paper lantern which they can decorate in advance and carry in memory of a loved one.
Furley Page Foundation Trustee Aaron Spencer, a Partner at the Canterburybased law firm who took part in last year’s 5km run, says: “This is the fifth year that Furley Page Solicitors has supported Light Up the City and the Furley Page Foundation is proud to be sponsoring this fantastic event again. Participants are also welcome to bring head torches, light sabres and fairy lights, and flashing merchandise will be available to buy on the night. Light Up the City begins and ends in Canterbury’s Dane John Gardens,
Watling Street, and takes walkers and runners past some of Canterbury’s most iconic historic landmarks. The 3km stroll starts at 6.30pm (registration 5.45pm) and costs £7.50 in advance, including a lantern, or £10 on the night (under-fives and dogs go free), with optional lanterns at £2.50 each. A £25 advance family ticket (two adults and two children) includes two lanterns. The 5km run begins at 7.45pm (registration 6.45pm) and costs £10 in advance or £15 on the night.
