Extra Mile Challenge
1st July 2020 - 31st July 2020
Go The Extra Mile Challenge has certainly done that! Challenge Complete!
Our amazing Go The Extra Mile supporters have gone even further and have so far collectively raised over £3,500 and covered a distance of over 1,200 miles and still counting!
We are so proud of everyone who took part in this month long challenge! This was our first attempt of organising a longer virtual challenge and we couldn’t be more happier.
Not only has an incredible amount of money been raised but also we have heard so many personal targets achieved and smashed, people journeys and pushing their limits not to mention some of the beautiful scenery and our extended friends across the globe.
A heart felt thank you to everyone who has supported this challenge – the real superheroes out there that allows the Hospice to continue to do what it does best, providing support to patients living with a life limiting illness and their loved ones. We couldn’t do it without you!
We’re excited to bring you a new virtual challenge – Go the Extra Mile for Hospice of the Valleys.
