St Richards Hospice which provides free specialist palliative care for people living with life limiting illnesses is organising this popular annual walk on Friday, 3rd July.

The walk will begin in Bewdley at 6.00am and finishes in Malvern. Last year 140 people took part raising in excess of £25,000 to fund its valuable work. Although some of the terrain will be challenging, walkers will enjoy the beautiful Worcestershire countryside and certainly finish with a great sense of achievement.

St Richards Hospice relies on donations to fund our free care and are extremely grateful to all those in the community who support us so we can continue our work helping patients and families when they need us most.

Those taking part will be treated to lunch at The Talbot Inn at Knightwick; the walk will also be supported by marshals with vehicles as well as first aiders.Refreshments and water will be provided along the route. Walkers pay a £13 administration fee and are asked to raise sponsorship.

St Richards Hospice provides free specialist palliative care for patients living with life-limiting illnesses and supports their loved ones. Each year the hospice team supports over 3,300 patients and family members in Worcestershire. The hospice strives to provide the best medical, practical, emotional and social support we can to help people live life to the fullest, as independently as they can, for as long as they can. St Richard's is an independent charity and is grateful for all donations to help it continue its work.
