Glow for it...myton Hospices is bringing its big postponed fundraiser to your own homes
THE Myton Hospices is bringing its postponed Glow for Myton event to people in their own homes on Saturday 17th October.
The impact coronavirus has had on mass participation events unfortunately meant we had to postpone our Glow for Myton event from March to October, in the hope that by then people would be able to still go on a 5km ‘trip around the world’ to help raise vital funds.
Although restrictions are starting to be lifted, we do not believe that by October we will be able to hold the event as originally planned.
Instead, we are inviting you to complete a 5km walk, jog or run on or before Saturday 17th October, and then join us for an evening of entertainment from the comfort of your own home.
The event costs just £15 to sign up to, and the virtual after party will kick off at 7pm and include a stand-up comedian, a range of musical performances, an appearance from Britain’s Got Talent finalist Steve Hewlet, a cocktail masterclass, a Zumba session with Matt Print and much more.
We need to raise £60,000 in sponsorship from this event to help ensure we can continue to provide our services free of charge to people with a terminal or life limiting illness, and their families, now and in the future.
So why not sign up for a great night, in aid of a brilliant local cause?
This year alone we need to raise £9.2 million, and our ability to do this has been seriously impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. Now more than ever, we need your support to ensure we can continue to serve our local community.
Visit mytonhospice. org/glow to find out more and sign up.
