And as well as people taking part in the walk, a number of local companies are showing their support for the fundraiser.
Charity founder Glennis Hooper from Wellingborough said: “We are delighted that Tesco’s (Wellingborough) have come on board and will be giving biscuits to all walkers and Sainsbury’s (Rushden) will be giving all the Crazy Hat winners a special goody bag.
“This, together with the t-shirt, medal and product from Avon is a real boost for us and for the walkers.

“We have projects whereby more funds will be donated to KGH and NGH, we continue with our support and therapy sessions and our holiday home scheme will commence again after the walk.
“Now in our 17th year and fast approaching the £3 million mark in that time, Crazy Hats is very much alive.
“Sign up now – walk for that someone special in your life and help to make a difference.”
