Story

🌟 Spin for the Stars – A 24-Hour Challenge Honouring 24-Hour Care for Children's Hospice Week 2025 🌟

Dedicated to Henry, Neve, Max, Alessandra, Joshua, Roman, Anaaya and Grace - with thanks to their families, who have been part of CHAT UK from the beginning - and every child whose light still shines in our hearts.

From 11am, Sunday 1rth June to 11am, Monday 16th June, we’re coming together for Spin for the Stars—a 24-hour cycling challenge to honour the constant, compassionate care provided by children’s hospices and families across the UK.

Whether you’re joining in person or taking part from home, this is your chance to spin with purpose and help raise vital funds for children’s hospices during Children’s Hospice Week.

This event is a tribute to:

- The children currently being cared for by hospices

- Those living with serious and life-limiting illnesses

- Those children who have died, including those whose families may not have had access to hospice care

It’s also a chance to shine a light on the incredible work of children’s hospices and the tireless support they offer day and night.

Wherever you are, you’re invited to ride with us. Jump on an exercise bike, or take a spin on a road bike, scooter, or wheelchair—ride for 30 minutes, an hour, or anytime during the 24 hours.

We’ll unite during three special Power Hours to ride, remember, and celebrate together:

🔹 11am–12pm, Sunday 15th June – Challenge Launch 🚀

🔹 4pm–5pm, Sunday 15th June – Kids’ Hour 👧🛴🧒

🔹 10am–11am, Monday 16th June – Final Hour Celebration marking the start of Children's Hospice Week 🎉

To join us in person in Croxley, book tickets for your riding slot here:

Funds raised go to the Together for Short Lives National Fundraising Scheme, supporting all UK children’s hospices.

Please donate if you can—or join us and ride in honour of a star ⭐

Let’s spin for the children we hold, those we support, and those we will never forget.
