THE Peak District is a haven for walkers and now a memorial walk for the Jane Tomlinson Appeal is taking place.

Jane’s husband Mike will today officially launch the Jane Tomlinson’s Walk For All Peak District Walk, which will take place in April to raise funds for children’s and cancer charities.

And it comes in the 80th year of the Mass Trespass of Kinder Scout.

Sara Birkinshaw, Events Director at Walk For All, said: “Jane Tomlinson studied in Sheffield, and the Peak District and particularly the Hope Valley were close to her heart.

“In looking for our next Walk For All, we knew that the Peak District would offer our supporters a stunning day out and also enable us to help a host of local South Yorkshire and Peak District charities.

“Our new Peak District Walk routes really do offer a true Walk For All – a day out in wonderful countryside that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their age and fitness levels.”

The Jane Tomlinson Walk For All comes to the Hope Valley during the Peak District Walking and Outdoor Festival 2012 and will take place on Sunday, April 29.

There will be a five-mile route as well as a 12 and 24-mile route with entrance fees from £5.

The outdoor activities held in Jane’s name have so far raised £3.5m for charity.
