I'm taking on The Myton Hospices Santa Dash to help raise £60,000 this Christmas! Please sponsor me today!

We know that’s a lot of money, but with your support, we’re confident we can do it!


The Myton Hospices provides compassionate care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families - both in their Inpatient Units and out in the community.


To continue offering this care free of charge, they need to raise £12.7 million of the £15.3 million it will cost this year.


They are not the NHS - they are a charity, and just 17% of their funding comes from the NHS.

More people than ever need a Hospice Bed, and tragically, too many people on the waiting list for a bed at Myton will die before they can access one.


As the only provider of Hospice Inpatient Beds in Coventry and Warwickshire, the demand is huge.


That’s why I’m taking on The Myton Hospices Santa Dash this Christmas, to raise money so they can be there for everyone who needs them, now and in the future.

To reach this year’s Santa Dash target of £60,000, we rely entirely on sponsorship, and that’s where you come in. Just look at what your support could help fund:

• £94 could fund one adult counselling session
• £360 could fund our Myton at Home service for a patient for one day
• £450 could fund an Inpatient bed for one day
• £545 could fund the required drugs for one patient

Please donate today and help The Myton Hospices be there for more people this Christmas.

Why I’m doing this

Thursday 11th Dec
Nearly 5 years ago, I and my family were caring for my mum at home, she had Dementia, it was all the things you’d expect, joyful, hard, and life changing, I hadn’t thought too much about end of life care until it was pointed out to me that was exactly what I was doing, I was determined to see  the care through till the end, my mum wanted to be at home, and that is when the Myton care at home team got involved, they helped me and my family care for my mum in her surroundings and showed my mum such care and dignity, that if i can give back, even a little, I intend too. So Santa dash with my wife it is:) x
