Hope Walk Weekend

Date: Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 May 2011

Further Information:

The Hope Walk Weekend is a new event being organised by the Myotubular Trust in 2011, which it is hoped will continue the success of the London Thames Towpath walk, now in its fourth year.

This year the Myotubular Trust are hoping to extend the walk to other areas around the country and in to Europe. The aim is to get as many different walks as possible taking place over the weekend, with the same hope - to find a cure or treatment for myotubular and centronuclear myopathy.

  • Devon (date to be confirmed)
  • Hertfordshire, Friday, 6th May
  • London: Saturday 7 May
  • Bournemouth: Sunday 8 May
  • Leeds / Bradford: Sunday 8th May, 5 miles
