Thank you to everyone who got their walking boots on for this year’s Walk for Myton!

Over 600 people gathered at Warwick Myton Hospice on Sunday 21st May to raise vital funds for our hospice. We are delighted to say that we raised an incredible £22,101!

Participants had the choice to take part in 3 mile, 6 mile or 12 mile routes around the beautiful Warwickshire countryside with their friends, family or four legged companions.

 

Along the routes, families enjoyed a scavenger hunt, which featured popular characters, tongue twisters and general knowledge facts. The winner of the scavenger hunt is Mark Kelloas, congratulations!

After the walk, participants were welcomed back to the beautiful grounds of Warwick Myton Hospice for a well-earned BBQ and entertainment. There were wonderful performances, a bouncy castle and games for children to enjoy.

 

We also had a Poem Trail in our In-Memory garden for reflection. Thank you to David Slater and Peter Minshaw for organising and creating such beautiful words.

We wouldn’t be able to put on such incredible events without the help of so many really special and important people...

 

Please join us in saying thank you to our incredible volunteers who supported us at the hospice as well as around the routes, marshalling, cheering you on and feeding you along the way!
