Morag, who lives in Preston, said: "We had such a good time. It was hard work but worth it for such a good cause and we were very proud of ourselves for raising such an excellent amount."
The friends who joined Morag last year were Joanne Boyle, Sharon Norman, Carol Biddulph and Julie Craig. They all went to school together at St John's and also St Hilda's from 1976 to 1981.
The walk, which is organised by Pendleside Hospice and members of Burnley Pendleside Rotary Club, raises money for Pendleside, with £5 of each registration fee going to local charities supported by the rotary club.
