I am taking part in The Myton Hospices Virtual Santa Dash to help them raise vital funds! They are hoping to raise £38,000 from Santa Dash sponsorship this year so they can continue providing our services to people with terminal and life limiting illnesses, and their families, over the festive period.
Due to the impact Coronavirus has had on their ability to raise vital funds they expect to see a significant drop in voluntary income of somewhere in the region of £2 million this year.
How your donation will help people in our community today!
£50 will fund two hours of specialist nursing care in our hospices this Christmas
£84 will fund a patient’s meals for one week
£106 will fund a Myton at Home nurse to visit a patient at
home over Christmas
£162 will fund 10 children’s bereavement counselling
sessions to help a young person who is facing their first Christmas without a loved one
£406 will fund an inpatient bed for one day for someone who
is too ill to spend Christmas at home
£2,000 would buy a patient specific recliner chair to enable
patients to spend time out of bed with their family over the festive period
