We have all lost a loved one or friend to cancer . Sadly I had to say goodbye to my dad , David in 2024 and Ruby had to say goodbye to her mum only this May 2025.

The void they have left behind is huge and there will never be a day we don’t speak of them , remember them and cherish every single memory we have with them .

That is why in their honour …..myself , Emma and Ruby will put on our walking boots and join the starlight hike to raise much needed funds for Sue Ryder manorlands who took care of my dad and Nicola in their final weeks with such love and compassion.

Any amount you can donate is very appreciated by us and all at manorlands.

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.
