“I know that Cedric Robinson has had a great relationship with Galloway’s over the years and it was lovely for him to meet us on the sands.
Fund-raisers at the charity, which has offices in Penwortham, Chorley and Morecambe, praised their walkers’ efforts and thanked them for taking part in the event.
Event organiser, Charlotte Carnell said: “I am absolutely delighted with the amount we have raised. We’ve had a wonderful couple of days meeting some our lovely supporters.
