The compassionate nurses and caregivers of Pilgrims Hospices are lacing up their trainers and gearing up for a remarkable endeavour - the Pilgrim Way Challenge. On Saturday, June 15, 2024, they will embark on a journey across east Kent, joining hundreds of supporters in a fundraising effort that promises not only to be physically demanding yet also incredibly rewarding.

A team comprising of 9 nurses and carers are taking on the 25 kilometre route that will traverse the picturesque route from Canterbury to Wye. Their presence is a testament to their deep appreciation for hospice care and their recognition of the vital role fundraising plays in sustaining these crucial services.

Throughout the course of the Pilgrims Way Challenge, the Pilgrims Hospices nursing team aims to cover around 275 kilometres collectively, about 420,000 steps; as they stride through the stunning Kent countryside. Their dedication is matched only by their determination to make every step count, knowing that each stride brings them closer to their fundraising goal and, more importantly, closer to enhancing the quality of life for hospice patients.

As the Pilgrims Hospices care team embarks on this inspiring journey, they invite the community to join them in support of their noble cause. Together, they are proving that with every step, they are making a real difference in the lives of those in need.
