BIG-HEARTED slimmers walked around Pontefract Park to raise £1,525 for the town's Prince of Wales Hospice.
Members of Castleford and Normanton Weight Watchers groups – who have lost more than 50 stones between them – are also planning a hospice fundraising night at the Rising Sun in Whitwood on July 2.
One of the walkers, 73-year-old Jane Harvey, from Castleford, completed the course in one hour and 11 minutes, despite recovering from breast cancer.
She said: “I wanted to do this walk because the hospice is a service that everybody in this area needs and I know that it relies on money raised in the community to keep going.”
Weight Watchers meetings take place at Castleford United Reformed Church, Back Bank Street, on Mondays at 10am and Tuesdays at 5.45pm and at Normanton Library and Community Centre, Market Street, on Tuesdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 5.30pm.
