You can get involved with festive fun, and raise money for a local hospice this Christmas.
Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity is bringing its popular Santa Dash event to Aylesbury this year, to coincide with Santa’s Sunday Spectacular on Sunday 21st November.
‘Santa Dashers’ will run, jog, scoot or walk their way around the town, on a 2.5km or 5km route, raising money for the Charity’s hospice services. Every ‘Dasher’ receives a Santa hat or suit and a medal along with the chance to take part in the Santa Parade which is part of the Spectacular.
Claire Redrup, Public Fundraising Senior Manager for Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, added:
“We’re so excited to be able to see people at events again – this is our first public event since March 2020! Signing up as a Santa Dasher is a great way to sign off the year, welcome the festive season in, get some healthy outdoor exercise and help us to provide the best hospice care for local people.’
