In memory of Joanne Thacker
The annual LOROS Twilight Walk brings over 2,000 Leicester ladies together for a 10k walk around the city centre

Story

In September 2018, we lost an incredible woman. In her final days, she was cared for at LOROS, who made every effort to ensure that she was as comfortable and cared for as possible. The hospice provided invaluable support to Jo and her wonderful family, and for that we will be forever grateful. In true Jo spirit, we’ll be getting our athletic shoes on and - perhaps not in Jo’s effortless style - we’ll be making our way around a 10K route. Will she be giggling at us? Yes. Will she be cheering us on? Of course. Will we be raising a glass to her at the finish line? There is no doubt about it. Here’s to you Jo.
