February 16, 2008 - Sleepwalking women are invited to take a midnight stroll along the prom for a wish-granting children’s charity.
The 10km Midnight Wish Walk is being held on Friday April 25 by Bournemouth-based Round Table Children’s Wish and is open to women of all ages.
Walking from Bournemouth Pier to Southbourne and back, participants can come dressed in pyjamas ready to stumble into bed in the early hours of the morning or in their glad-rags to finish their night out on the tiles.
Organiser Davina Nichols of Round Table Children's Wish said: "This will be a really sociable event with a fitness instructor leading a warm up ahead of the walk and plenty of fun along the way. Ladies are encouraged to join the in the event alone or with a group of friends. I'm sure friendships will be made during the evening.
"Our aim is to raise funds to grant wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses and to promote Round Table Children's Wish so we can continue to make more wishes come true for as many children as possible."
Round Table Children's Wish, which has its head office in Bournemouth, grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses. Wishes range from trips to Disneyland Paris, swimming with dolphins, meeting pop or sporting heroes or having a laptop.
With walkers being asked to raise £50 or more sponsorship and up to 500 walkers expected to take part, it is hoped 2008 will see many more wishes being granted.
Davina added: “ If you are a local company or organisation why not enter a work team and help make a difference.”

Since it was launched locally in 1990 Round Table Children’s Wish has granted more than 1,100 Wishes to children throughout the UK. They include trips to Disneyland Paris, swimming with dolphins, being a zoo-keeper for a day, shopping sprees and visits to meet sporting heroes.
