Story

Mary & I have signed up to Sue Ryder 10k Starlight Hike around the Mapledurham Estate and we’re hoping to raise a few pounds for Sue Ryder who provide incredible care and support for those living with a terminal illness.

Many people in Reading are aware of the Sue Ryder hospice in Liebenrood Road but they also play a vital role in the community for those living at home.

They provide invaluable medical care, equipment, emotional support and so much more but to do this they rely on fundraising.

As some of you know they are supporting my Dad and I as we navigate life with his illness and I honestly don’t know what we’d have done without them.

Every year our Sue Ryder Nurses and bereavement professionals provide care and support to thousands of people facing their darkest days but they can't do it without our support.

Through sponsorship, you can help make every one of our steps count towards compassionate and expert end-of-life care and grief support for families in need.

£5 could pay for refreshments when those living with a terminal illness come together.

£30 could fund an hour of expert care, so our Sue Ryder doctors and nurses can help manage patients’ pain and symptoms. 

£75 could help provide a vital Online Bereavement Counselling Service for someone who needs reassurance guidance and support.

Whether £1 or £10 every penny enables Sue Ryder to continue supporting those in need with our community.
