Walk in Their Shoes – 5 Mile Sponsored Walk in aid of St. Gemma’s Hospice

“Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”

Throughout our lives we all have to deal with loss and many of us wish to do something to celebrate the lives of those who are no longer here. This sponsored event is a great opportunity for us all to walk in memory or celebration of someone special. Whether that person had contact with St. Gemma’s Hospice or not, we are inviting you to join us for this special event.

The 5 mile sponsored walk will take place on Saturday 10^th September from 9.30am. It will begin at Colton Methodist Church with a celebration of those who you are walking for. The circuitous route will begin from the church hall and will take you in and around the Temple Newsam grounds and back to the church for refreshments. We will provide you with a fundraising pack to help raise funds for St. Gemma’s Hospice, a place that believes everyone should be cared for in the highest and most individual way possible during their most difficult journey. We will provide a t-shirt to all participants on event day which you can customise.

Last year the event was a huge success and everyone really enjoyed the route and beautiful scenery. With blue skies and sunshine – it was the perfect setting to remember those that had been lost. The event raised a staggering £23,000 which is an incredible achievement so thank you to all last year’s walkers for their efforts.

So let’s get together and Walk in Their Shoes. Call 0113 218 5505, email francines@st-gemma.co.uk or visit www.st-gemma.co.uk to book your place.

Entry is free, we just ask you to raise as much as you can for our Hospice.
