Pyjama Walk, Heaton Park
8th November
Pyjama Walk, Heaton Park
This November, Manchester Foundation Trust Charity are inviting you to get comfy in your pyjamas, onsies or dressing gowns and join them for a 5km sponsored fun walk around Heaton Park!
The family-friendly, accessible route will start with a lively warm up and feature entertainment along the way. There’s even a family discount on tickets, making it a perfect day out for young families.
By raising sponsorship, YOU will make a difference for young children who cared for by our hospitals
The sponsorship you raise by taking part in this year’s Pyjama Walk will equip our hospitals with two Rocket Scanners – playful, rocket-shaped MRI-simulators that will help children overcome the fear and anxiety an MRI scan can cause.
Every day, many of the children we treat in our hospitals require MRI scans to diagnose all sorts of medical conditions. But the prospect of an MRI scan is frightening, particularly for our younger patients, and for many children the only solution is to be put to sleep whilst the scan takes place.
These innovative and interactive play scanners create a fun and relaxed environment for children, where they can practice lying still and prepare them for the real thing.
