FLARES and hot pants will be making a comeback in June as the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home bring a 70s feel to the fifth annual Goodnight Walk in Amersham.

As the summer warmth arrives the walkers will be trying to avoid catching disco fever as they raise money for the IRHH nursing service.

Organisers are expecting this year's walk to be the biggest 70s party in the Chilterns and are hoping to have many contenders for the best dressed groover.

The Goodnight Walk, to be held on June 18 has raised over £300,000 in the past four years and set this year’s target at £75,000.

It will be the last time the event will be held in Amersham.

Every walker is being asked to aim to raise £150 which funds an Iain Rennie nurse for 24 hours.

Community and Events Manager, Ruth Barber commented: "We are really excited about the theme for this year’s Goodnight Walk as the 70s is always popular."

Although originally designed with women in mind, the IRHH Goodnight Walk is now one of the only events of its kind that openly welcomes men walkers too.

Previous participants have included former patients who have completed successful cancer treatments, teams walking in memory of friends or family members and a number of ‘hens’ choosing to host their special pre-nuptial celebrations in a novel way raising money for charity.
