TINYLIFE, Northern Ireland's premature and sick baby charity, are hosting their second Reindeer Walk
at Hillsborough Fort on Saturday December 4 from 12noon-2.30pm.

Everyone will be treated to Festive Carol Singing from a local school choir and children will all receive a set of Reindeer ears for their walk led by Santa's Elves around the lake.

On completion of the walk Santa will arrive at the Fort to take the children's letters back to the North Pole while the adults enjoy a glass of mulled wine - don't forget to brine your letters wail you on the day.

Community and Events Officer Andrea Milligan said: "Christmas is always a special time to have a new baby, but for parents of a premature baby those feelings of joy and excitement turn to
fear and anxiety making the days and weeks that follow a daunting and traumatic experience.

Support our families by joining on our walk on the fourth and treating the children to a fun day out.

"You can offer your support to those parents by joining us on our Reindeer Walk.

"The route is suitable for everyone in the family and those taking part will receive a pair of fun reindeer antlers. Participants are asked to raise a minimum sponsorship of £10 per family."

To register text Andrea on 07702 384791 or email andrea@tinylife.org.uk with your name and number in your party and sponsorship forms will be sent to you.
