Join us as part of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, for a relaxing walk of Crawfordsburn country park where you can meet others affected by blood cancer, and speak to members of the LLNI team and Blood Cancer Research Group researchers.
The walk follows the park run route on a mixture of tarmac and trail paths around the beautiful country park, with shorter loops for those who wish. The start and finish points are at the LLNI tent, close to the Countryside Visitor Centre and opposite the Woodlands Cafe.
The route takes you along the coastal path at Crawfordsburn beach, followed by the forest and glen before returning to the cafe area. Due to the terrain parts of the course may make it harder for people with buggies & pushchairs – please contact the team in advance for further.
