MANORLANDS' Starlight Hike raised over £60,000, it has been announced.

And fundraising bosses at the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice say donations are still coming in.

More than 700 people took part in the annual 10km walk, in September, which was preceded for the first time by a steam train ride on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

Senior Manorlands fundraiser Hayley Ibbotson said: "The Starlight Hike is such a special evening which brings everyone together and last year was one of our best yet.

"We normally take registrations on the evening, but the event sold out ahead of the night which was a great start.

"And there was the attraction of the new Starlight Express train, which received great feedback.

"Most importantly we had one of our most successful years in terms of what the event raised, which is a great testament to all the participants who kindly collected sponsorship for us and I'd like to thank them all for their support."

She asks for any outstanding sponsorship money to be submitted as soon as possible.

"The sooner all the sponsorship money has been collected, the sooner those funds can be used at the hospice to provide more incredible care to patients and families," she added.

This year's hike takes place on September 3.
