The Eventus Recruitment team have vowed to each walk, run, cycle or swim 100km in September to raise vital funds for the North Lancashire and South Lakes based St John’s Hospice.
After seeing their flower appeal at Lancaster Castle last month, we realised that most of our team had a story about how the hospice had helped our family and friends. As a result, we wanted to do something to help the hospice and we thought the 100km challenge was the perfect way to do it.
Our Plans for the Challenge
Taking part for Team Eventus in the challenge is Amy Watson, Joanne Hood, Nikki Phillips, Erin McKnight, Emma Guy, and Lucy Evans. We are fundraising as a team, but we are each committing to individually walk, run, cycle or swim at least 100km this month.
Some of the walks we have planned are Heysham to Morecambe, Ingleborough, Tatham Fells and the Swiss Alps. Emma might try cold water swimming if she is brave enough, too.
If you are reading this, please could you consider sponsoring £1 (or whatever you can afford), to help the hospice with it’s vital work and to continue caring.
How your donations help
Here’s just some of the ways that your donations can help St John’s Hospice’s patients and their families:
£2 could pay for a cup of tea and a biscuit for a patient or their visiting relative.
£5 could buy a simple hand-held fan to keep a patient cool and comfortable.
£10 can buy a ‘Worry Monster’ to help a child express their fears and worries before and after the loss of a loved one.
£20 may pay for a therapy session for a patient or their carer; to encourage relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety.
