In October we (Katie, Esther, Wendy, Susan, Fliss, Emily and Anya) will be taking part in the Sue Ryder Starlight Hike - a 10K walk under the stars to remember people we have lost and raise vital funds for Sue Ryder.

Sue Ryder aims to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need. Some of our team have experienced first hand the wonderful support that is given by Sue Ryder, others are realistic enough to know that it is likely we will need their support in the future. This is why we are walking and raising funds, because "no one should face death or grief alone".

We would be so very grateful if you could donate to our fund. Whatever amount, small or large, would be very much appreciated and will be well-used to fund the brilliant work done by Sue Ryder.

£20 could pay for a patient’s meals for the day in one of our hospices. We always do our best to cater for someone’s individual preferences and dietary requirements.

£25 could fund an hour of expert care, so our Sue Ryder doctors and nurses can help manage patients’ pain and symptoms.

£40 could provide our personalised text support service Sue Ryder Grief Coach to someone who is grieving for a year, as well as gentle coaching for friends and family who want to support them.

A massive thank you from us all -

Katie, Esther, Wendy, Susan, Fliss, Emily and Anya
