Boots Memorial Walk In Memory Of Alex

On September 22nd, our supporters at Boots Opticians in Castlegate came together for a beautiful memory walk dedicated to the late Alex Hassing, a cherished member of staff at the store.

The walk kicked off from Cancer Cars HQ, where a group of friends, family, and supporters gathered to celebrate Alex’s life and the impact he made during his six years at the Berwick store. With warm smiles and a shared purpose, we set off along New Road, taking in the crisp autumn air and the vibrant colors of the season.

The route led us around the historic Walls, where we shared stories and laughter, each step reminding us of Alex’s kindness and dedication. Among the participants were Alex’s beloved wife, Anita, and their daughter, Laura, who were both honoured to be part of this special remembrance.

This year so far, with match funding, Boots Opticians have raised over £6000 for the cars and have been nominated for a special recognition at the Boots “Best of the Best” awards held in January.
