Walk 2017

Beat SCAD’s annual walk will be held in Leicestershire on Saturday 30 September. It’s a great opportunity for spontaneous coronary artery dissection survivors, families and friends to meet, network and support each other, as well as to raise money to help Beat SCAD continue its work.

Dr David Adlam, who is leading the UK research, will be attending and will give a short talk about the research after the walk – don’t miss it!

Venue

Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre and Country Park.

The Park is close to the M1, M6, M42 and M69. Buses run from Leicester to Market Bosworth, which is three miles away and taxis are available.

The Park includes a network of surfaced trails that radiate from the famous Bosworth Battlefield Visitors Centre. With panoramic views of the wonderful farmed landscape, the trails connect with the Ashby Canal and the Battlefield Railway at Shenton Station. There is a choice of walks from 1km to 5km depending on your stamina and love of walking.
