About

This May take part in a sponsored walk with a difference to raise money to help those in mid Essex affected by life-limiting illness.

Farleigh Hospice's virtual Tails and Trails event will take place over the May bank holiday weekend (1st to 3rd May) and is an opportunity for people to meet outside with up to five friends to get some fresh air and exercise with their canine companions.

Don't have a dog? Don't worry! This event is suitable for lone walkers, families and dog owners alike. It's a relaxed, friendly way to get outside and socialise in the spring air and support your local hospice at the same time.

With both 5k and 10k options available, participants can choose to walk, run or jog this sponsored challenge. The aim is to raise a minimum of £25 in sponsorship per group to match the average number of 25 patients Farleigh's hospice at home care teams visit each week, providing care and support to both patients and their families.

Registration is open now and closes on the 29th April 2021. It costs just £15 per household to take part which includes a celebratory medal for each participant, a stylish bandana for their dog as well as additional goodies in the welcome pack kindly donated by Marriage's and Fish4Dogs.
