Raising money for Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices

On entering the race you will receive a bespoke Just Giving link within your confirmation email. We encourage all participants to raise a minimum of £10 for Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices

Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith Children's Hospices support more than 750 families in the Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Mid Wales area who are either caring for a terminally ill child or whose child has died. 

Their incredible service's include respite and end-of-life care at the hospices and/or within the family home, and support such as counselling, advocacy and the promotion of children, young people's and carers' rights.

Children, young people and family members are welcomed into a friendly, homely environment, with the child or young person at the centre.

It costs £10 million every year to run the services with only two month's income coming from statutory sources and the rest being dependent on public support. So please raise what you can!
