Remember a loved one
Walking in the fresh air is something that many of us have appreciated more than ever since the pandemic began.
As someone who tries to walk every day, I value the physical and wellbeing benefits that it brings – as well as the time to think and reflect.
I am writing to encourage your readers to put their best foot forward and take part in Sue Ryder’s Walk to Remember 2021.
Healthcare charity Sue Ryder is a cause that is close to my heart.
My daughter was cared for in her final days at one of Sue Ryder’s hospices, Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, in 2010.
The compassionate care she received meant an awful lot to me and my family.
Sue Ryder does fantastic work, being there for families like mine, however, it remains reliant on voluntary income and needs your readers’ support to ensure it can keep offering expert care.
This is why I want to tell you about how you can get involved with Walk to Remember this October.
It is an opportunity to get together with family and friends to celebrate the memory of your loved one, raise vital funds and help Sue Ryder fill someone’s last days with love.
Sue Ryder’s research shows more than half (54%) of the British public think that remembrance events help them grieve.
You can join hundreds of other supporters and walk 5k or 10k at one of Sue Ryder’s organised events or you can organise your own Walk to Remember and do 5k or 10k or a distance of your choice on any day during October.
The charity’s research found more than two thirds of people (71%) have a special place they visit to remember someone who has died.
Make it your Walk to Remember by deciding your
start and finish line and a route that means something to you.
The funds raised will help Sue Ryder to support people through the most difficult times of their lives.
Whether that’s a terminal illness or a bereavement, with your support Sue
Ryder can be there when it matters.
