Your registration fee covers the cost of the event, but it is your sponsorship money which makes the difference to our patients and their families.
We suggest you raise a minimum of £30 per adult for this event, this could fund a bereavement counselling session for one child.
And as a huge thank for every adult that raises or donates £30 and every child who raises or donates £20 you'll receive an exclusive Walk for Myton T-shirt for the big day!

The Difference Your Support Makes...
The money you raise means we can make the most difficult times that little bit more manageable, and care for people like Imelda and her family…
Imelda McHugh was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in 2021, a rare, progressive disease affecting the central and autonomic nervous systems, which control movement and involuntary functions. Imelda also has a form of arthritis, affecting her mobility.
Imelda has been seeing a Parkinson’s nurse in Coventry since her diagnosis to help with her symptoms. The nurse mentioned The Myton Hospices’ Patient & Carer Wellbeing Service and how it could benefit her.
She added:
“When the nurse mentioned Myton and palliative care, I was initially frightened by what that might mean. She explained the difference between palliative end of life care and palliative wellbeing care. She reassured me that, while my illness is terminal, I’m not in the final months or weeks of life. Instead, the focus is on maintaining my current health so I can make the most of the time I have left. With that understanding, I agreed to the referral.”
Imelda started receiving weekly calls from our Wellbeing Team in 2024, signposting her to services to further help her and her family.
Imelda continued:
“I must admit I was still dubious when I first started talking to Jill, my Myton Wellbeing Nurse, but with each phone call my worries disappeared. She referred me to Myton’s Complementary Therapy service which was a dream. I had a massage on my arms, shoulders and neck. Oh it was heaven!
“Jill also informed me of all the support groups I could attend to meet likeminded individuals in similar situations. I was also made aware of the carers support group which I knew nothing about. My youngest daughter is 21, she has autism and lives at home with me and her dad.
To have a place dedicated for them as my family is incredible. They’re able to talk to other carers and family members, share their experiences and maybe get a few helpful tips.
With my daughter’s autism, she’s very reliant on us. My partner is 15 years older than me and my only fear for the future is how she will cope when her parents aren’t here anymore.
But she thrives at Myton, she’s a whole new person, opening up to people in a way she never has. She is so comfortable at Myton and I think that is the biggest reflection of the environment they create.”
After six months of attending these sessions, Imelda was admitted to our Warwick Myton Hospice in early January 2025 for a week of Respite care.
Imelda commented:
“I couldn’t wait to give my partner a break. He does so much for me and our youngest daughter so to have this week dedicated to giving him, as well as me, a break is all I could ask for.
Since the minute I arrived, I’ve felt so relaxed and like I’m able to breath again. When Myton was first mentioned, I wrongly assumed hospice care was just for those at the very end of their life and I fully associated Myton with death.
But I was so wrong. Being here has opened my eyes to the different, and main, side of hospice care. Myton is truly magical.”
With your sponsorship and fundraising, we can help more people like Imelda when they need us most, now and in the future.
Your registration fee covers the cost of the event, but it is your sponsorship money which makes the difference to our patients and their families.
To reach our target of £45,000 we rely entirely on you raising sponsorship.
To receive an exclusive Walk for Myton t-shirt, pledge to raise £30 per adult or £20 per child, this could fund one hour of specialist nursing care.
