Hits Radio East Midlands stars Jo and Sparky will be joining hundreds of walkers taking part in Derby’s biggest charity night walk on Friday 6 September.

Breakfast show hosts Jo Russell and Mark ‘Sparky’ Colerangle will join the Treetops Moonlight Walk and start walkers off at 8pm on their 5k or 10k sponsored walk.

Proud to be involved

“We are thrilled to be involved in the Treetops Moonlight Walk this year. What a wonderful charity doing amazing work!”

~ Jo and Sparky

“We’ll be there to set people off. We’re bedding in new trainers so we may even walk the route too! Anything to help the families who need it the most. It’s heartwarming to see their work, so we’re proud to be involved.”

The Moonlight Walk begins and ends at Bustler Derby.

The route takes people past some of Derby’s most iconic landmarks and raises money for the end-of-life charity.

  • A quick, fun-filled warm-up by Ultra Events
  • An opportunity to light a candle in memory of a loved one at Derby Cathedral and hear the Cathedral choir performing
  • The Harrison Hub at Pride Park will be open and providing warm drinks (in return for a donation). Derby County’s Rammie the Ram will be available for selfie opportunities
  • Stilt walkers and LED dancers performing along the route and a red carpet paparazzi-style welcome
  • Encouragement and support from staff at East Midlands Railway as they walk through Derby city train station

Vic Rocca, Treetops Relationships Manager – Key Events, explained:

Counting down to an amazing night

“We’re now on the countdown to what will be an amazing night of energy, fun and celebration. It will be brilliant to see our Moonlight Walkers in their t-shirts walking through Derby city centre and know their support is making a huge difference to local patients and families.”

The Moonlight Walk entry fee is £18. Walkers receive an official Moonlight Walk t-shirt and walker number and will receive a medal at the finish line.
