Martlets Midnight Walk 2013
Over 700 women rocked up at Brighton Racecourse on 14 June for the biggest girls’ night out in the Brighton calendar. It was the seventh annual midnight walk, and in total the women walkers have raised over three quarters of a million pounds for Martlets. Caroline Lower, the Chief Executive of Martlets, and Denise Cobb, the Mayor of Brighton & Hove, praised the women who walked either 6 or 13 miles through the city streets and the commitment of the volunteers who helped with registrations and along the route. Pop, gospel and Motown classics were sung expertly by the Rock Choir to help the women on their way.
