Doncaster’s hospice is urging you to dig out your Christmas jumper and help raise funds for charity on Saturday 7 December.
St John’s Hospice has unveiled plans for its first ever Christmas jumper dash, which will leave the Balby-based Hospice and take a 3km route around neighbouring Woodfield Park, before finishing at St Catherine’s House.
St John’s Hospice Fundraising Manager Jenny Baynham said: “Most people own a Christmas jumper, so we’re inviting people to sign up for free and enjoy some fresh air and festive fun, while raising a little sponsorship for our charity.
“It’s a family-friendly event, which is accessible to everyone, and people can run, walk, or wheel around the route. When they reach the finish line, they’ll be able to enjoy the Flourish Christmas Fayre and Family Fun Day.”
Flourish Operations Manager Ash Evans said: “We are thrilled to celebrate those taking part with their friends and families as they proudly cross the finish line in the beautiful grounds of St Catherine’s House and Walled Gardens.”
St John’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care and support for Doncaster patients and their families living with life limiting illnesses.
Jenny added: “We’re always looking for innovative ways to raise the £500k we need to generate in charitable income each year, so we hope our local community will sign up and support us at this event.”
