Welcome to St Wilfrid's Hospice Moonlight Walk
Be part of our Silver Challenge during our 25th Anniversary year. Get fit and help raise money for St Wilfrid's Hospice.
By the light, of the silvery moon….well that is what we hope it is going to be when our intrepid walkers take to the streets of Chichester for our fourth sponsored Moonlight Walk which takes place during our Silver Anniversary year.
We'd like to invite you and your friends, family and colleagues to join in the excitement and help us celebrate 25 years of serving the local community with high quality specialist and end of life care by taking part in this memorable event.
Perhaps you, too, are celebrating a 25th birthday or Silver Anniversary this year and would like to join us - a chance for you to dress in silver or receive a silver certificate for raising over £250.
What is it?
Our Moonlight Walk started in 2009, and over the past three years over 2,600 wonderful walkers have walked 10 miles, raising over £250,000 for St Wilfrid's Hospice.
Starting and finishing at Westgate Leisure at midnight, the 10 mile sponsored walk will take in cobbled streets, the Roman Walls and Bishop’s Palace Gardens which is not normally open to members of the public after dark.
This year it will cost in excess of £5.6 million to provide our services free of charge. The government contribution amounts to only 14% of our running costs, leaving us a huge sum of money to fundraise.
By taking part in this event and raising as much money as possible, either by sponsorship or a donation, you will help to ensure the Hospice is able to maintain and develop our services in our Silver Jubilee year and beyond.
When is it?
Friday 15th June 2012, starting at midnight.
Who is it for?
Age 12 and upwards. All levels of fitness welcome.
How much does it cost?
Entry costs just £17.50
Please note this fee only covers our costs and includes a special commemorative Silver Anniversary Moonlight Walk t-shirt, goody bag, refreshments along the way, a light breakfast and a welcome foot pamper upon your return.
Walkers are requested to raise a minimum of £50 further sponsorship or make an equivalent donation.
Why take part?
Take up the challenge – get fit, help raise money and celebrate St Wilfrid's Hospice 25th Anniversary.
By taking part in this event and raising as much money as possible, either by sponsorship, a donation or becoming a regular giver, you will help to ensure the Hospice is able to maintain and develop our services in our Silver Jubilee year and beyond.
- A gift of £50 could help pay for one hours care by a Hospice @ Home nurse
- A gift of £100 could help pay for the cost of one patient to visit the Day Hospice for one day
- A gift of £200 could help pay for a patients' transport for one week
Sandra Brooks says...“Being involved with St Wilfrid’s gives us strength, as it was such a safe place for us all at a terrible time in our lives. If doing the walk helps give even one family the support that we all received, it is such a comfort to know that I can give something back."
