Story

Help us raise £45,000 at this year's Santa Dash so we can continue providing our services to people with life limiting illness, and their families, over the festive period.

To reach our target for this event, we rely entirely on you raising sponsorship as the entry fee only covers the cost of us hosting the event.

Have a look at the difference the money you raise could make…

£32 will cover the cost of one patient’s Christmas Day and Boxing Day meals

£56 covers the cost of two hour’s specialist nursing care

£60 will cover the cost of our relatives accommodation so people can stay close to their loved ones over Christmas Day and Boxing Day

£112 will fund a patient’s meals for one week

£150 will fund five children’s bereavement counselling sessions to help a young person who is facing their first Christmas without a loved one

£212 would fund a Respite bed for one day to give carers a much-needed break over the festive period

£360 will fund our Myton at Home service for one day, enabling patients to be in the comfort of their own home at Christmas

£450 will fund one inpatient bed on Christmas Day

We are confident that with your support we can raise £45,000 from this event which could almost fund the recruitment, training & salary for a registered nurse for one year!

You may have seen our Urgent Appeal to raise £240,000, which could fund the recruitment, training & salary for five registered nurses for a year, to reduce our waiting list and ensure more people in Coventry and Warwickshire can access a Hospice Bed.

With the amazing support of people like you we hope we can achieve this!

We will be there with you for every step of your fundraising journey with fantastic support and a festive training plan!
