A SPONSORED fancy dress walk in aid of children with leukaemia is set to be a bumper success.

Organiser, Anne Ferguson will once again be donning St Trinian's schoolgirl uniform to stage the walk -- her third -- from Wigan to St Helens on Saturday, September 23.

And she is on target to do even better than last year when she was joined by 15 fellow walkers and managed to raise £4,000 for the charity.

Anne, who lives in Parr, said: "I have had a tremendous response to earlier stories in the Star and have already had pledges worth £1,600 from members and guests at Houghwood Golf Club. And, so far, at least 30 people have said they will be joining me on the walk -- including two men!"

Anyone who would like to help, either via sponsorship or by taking part, can contact Anne on 01744 606299.
