The Myton Hospices has purchased a limited number of places for this event. To help us manage allocations and make sure every place is used well, please complete your registration steps as soon as possible.

As this is a fundraising challenge event, we warmly encourage all participants to raise voluntary charitable donations in support of The Myton Hospices. The easiest way to get started is by setting up your JustGiving page.

If you have not already done so, you can create your JustGiving page by clicking here.

 

Why your fundraising matters...

The Myton Hospices has covered the cost of your place, which means there is no fee for you to register. Every pound you raise helps us provide compassionate care for patients and families when they need us most.

We would be incredibly grateful if you would consider fundraising as part of your challenge. To help you set a goal, our suggested fundraising targets are:

• £50 per child place
• £75 per adult place
• £220 for a family of four, with a maximum of two adults
• £270 for a family of five, with a maximum of two adults

To help you build momentum with your fundraising, we encourage you to aim to reach around 50% of your suggested target by Friday 5 June 2026, and then continue fundraising towards your full target by the date of the event.

 

Keeping your place active...

Because places are limited and paid for by The Myton Hospices, we do ask all participants to complete the registration process promptly, including setting up a fundraising page, so we can confirm that each place will be used.

Where registration steps are not completed, or where we are unable to confirm that a participant still intends to take part after follow-up, we may need to reallocate that place to another supporter.

 

Support with your fundraising...

Once your page is live, our team can help you make the most of it. We can share fundraising tips, ideas and Myton materials to support you.

If you need any help, or have any questions, please contact us at challengeevents@mytonhospice.org.
