Derby County goalkeeper Stephen Bywater, the Rams' Teen Pride Ambassador, will start the Carsington Water Walk on Sunday 21st March 2010.
Following on from the success of the year long Teen Pride campaign which raised £40,000 for dedicated teenage areas at the Children's Hospital, this event will raise funds for Teen Pride Phase 2 which aims to raise £20,000 for a "chill out" room and side rooms for adolescent inpatients.
Stephen said: "I am proud to be involved in the Teen Pride appeal and playing my part again.There was a great atmosphere at last year's event and I am looking forward to meeting all of the walkers before they set off around Carsington Water."
Many hospital staff, supporters and local businesses have already signed up to take part in the walk that has been organised by Derby Hospitals Charity.
Places are still available for people in Derbyshire to sign up for the walk which is 8.5 miles long and sets off from the Carsington Water visitor centre.Entry is £5.00 when people pre-register or £15.00 on the day.
People can register by calling Kerry Wood on 01332 786445 or by email on kerry.wood@derbyhospitals.nhs.uk.
