Meerkat surprises gym-goers to promote Starlit Walk
SPORTY children got a nice surprise when Rowan the Meerkat stopped by to drum up interest in a charity walk.
Rowan is the mascot for the children’s service at The Rowans Hospice, a charity in Purbrook that helps people with life-limiting illnesses.
He was at Roko, in Copnor, on Saturday to promote the Starlit Walk, a sponsored walk for children due to take place in Portsmouth on October 27.
