The severity of our financial losses due to the cancellation of events and fundraising plans, as well as the closure of our charity shops due to the coronavirus pandemic is undeniable. We are predicting a shortfall of more than £2 million, putting the future of Shooting Star Childrens Hospices in the balance so we need your support more than ever.

Whether you choose to jog a km around your garden a day, run a marathon over a week, get your step count up and walk 10,000 steps a day, climb the equivalent of Snowdon on your staircase at home or take on an indoor Tour de France challenge on your indoor bike, the choice is yours.

Every step you take or mile you run, ride or shuffle, really will help to ensure we can continue to make every moment count for the families we support, now more than ever.

There is no minimum sponsorship we are just asking you to raise what you can. Maybe put the money you would normally spend on your morning coffee, your lunch, your travel or your post work drink aside and put this towards your sponsorship. There is also that loose change down the back of the sofa or in the car too!
