DOT Rutter and her super-fit colleagues are the latest walkers to sign up for the Midnight Walk.
Dot, 66, of South West Avenue, said: "I am supporting the hospice because they supported me when I needed help."
The Grandmother-of-four developed lymphedema in her left arm after battling breast cancer.
She said: "Lymphedema is a build up of fluid in the arm and it can be quite painful. I needed to find a way to treat it myself and unfortunately couldn't find anyone to help me.
"I was put in contact with the hospice who have a lymphedema nurse, Joy, who showed me how to treat it through massage techniques - they gave me advice and help when nobody else would."
Dot revisits the hospice every six months and hopes she will be fit enough on the day to take part in the Midnight Walk with husband Carl, and colleagues from Bollington Leisure Centre, who have all signed up to take part.
Dot, who works part time at the centre, said: "Natalie is going to be leading the warm up before the walk and a number of people from the leisure centre are doing it too.
"Unfortunately I will have to wait and see if I am well enough but hopefully I will be walking too."
The Midnight Walk is one of the biggest events on the hospice's calendar and takes place on Saturday, September 12.
It starts and finished at Macclesfield Leisure Centre , Priory Lane, taking in Macclesfield Town Centre, Tytherington and Prestbury.
Every penny raised by the walk goes towards keeping the local service going and phase one of its project to extend its care services.
