Could you walk 100 miles for St Ann’s this September?
You can register today to take part in the September Challenge with St Ann’s Hospice – what’s stopping you?
We’re challenging you to get sponsored to walk 100 miles throughout September.
You can walk in your own time, at your own pace and share your journey with others taking on the challenge.
Susan Davies is taking on the challenge and is excited to get started. Susan says: “I have experience of people I know needing support and comfort in their final days and I wanted to help St Ann’s guarantee care and a pleasant environment for the patients and their extended family.
“I walk a lot in my job but don’t walk as much as I would like, so these challenges help me do more intentional walking.”
I did the last Walk 100 Miles in September in 2021 and I loved it! My favourite thing was getting out in the September weather and knowing that I was not only benefitting St Ann’s but I was benefitting my own health as well. Susan Davies, Supporter
Every penny you raise will make a difference to St Ann’s patients and their loved ones.
This challenge is for everyone who loves walking and every mile you complete will make a real difference, the important thing is getting out and raising vital funds for St Ann’s Hospice. We would love as many people as possible to join in and raise what you can to support the patients and families we care for. Marie Foster, Innovation and Digital Fundraiser, St Ann’s Hospice
St Ann’s Hospice will send you a free Walk 100 miles t-shirt for you to wear with pride throughout the challenge! There is no registration fee, with everything raised going towards the ongoing care of patients and families.
Complete your challenge during September and share your progress in the private Facebook group, with St Ann’s supporting you every step of the way.
I found it useful to update my miles in the Facebook group and seeing other people’s progress was a real motivator too. Susan Davies, Supporter
Susan says: “I found it useful to update my miles in the Facebook group and seeing other people’s progress was a real motivator too.
“I’m also looking forward to seeing how much money I can raise, knowing that whatever the amount it will really benefit not only the patients, but also their wider circle.”
“I know times are hard for people at the moment, so I’m planning to do a sweepstake at work, where I provide the prize and people guess how many miles I’ll have done by the end of the challenge as who knows, I may even do more than 100!”
Throughout the month you can ask your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours to sponsor you. We’ve set a sponsorship target of £150, but just ask that you set up a fundraising page and do your very best!
