Tyres & Accessories’ Julie Wilshaw Completes Charity Midnight Walk

Circulations and Admin manager at Tyres & Accessories’ Stoke-on-Trent base Julie Wilshaw completed the annual Midnight to Sunrise Walk in the city on Friday 19 June to raise funds for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice in North Staffordshire. The hospice provides palliative care – care of patients whose disease no longer responds to curative treatment, and for whom the aim must be the best quality of life for them and their families according to the World Health Organisation – to those with cancer and other life-limiting diseases. She says that she wanted to complete the walk in memory of her mother and father and that the effects of cancer on friends had inspired her interest in the evening’s charity. Many others agreed, with the walk being completed by 1,500 area women.

At present, Wilshaw says she has raised £144, and while this represents a good initial figure, she has targeted £500 as a final amount.

Tyres & Accessories congratulates Julie for her achievements and wishes her the best of luck for her future charitable endeavours.
