As some of you may know, we lost my wonderful dad last year. His long battle with ‘The Big C’ was made so much more peaceful by the lovely Sue Ryder nurses, so as a family we would like to give back to them. Myself, and my family will be taking part in a 10K hike in his memory, but also to raise money for Sue Ryder.

Sue Ryder Starlight Hike is a series of 5k or 10k walks this October. They provide an opportunity to get together with family and friends under the stars to celebrate the life of someone special and help ensure no one faces death or grief alone.

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

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

£6 could pay for favourite breakfast for a patient being cared for in one of our hospices.

£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.
