'Not the Midnight Walk' replaces Aylesbury fundraiser for the second year
People from across Bucks are being encouraged to set off at 5am tomorrow
The well known Aylesbury walk fundraiser has had to be rearranged because of coronavirus.
Once again Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity have had to cancel their usual 'Midnight Walk' because of Covid-19 and restrictions around group events.
Organisers have once again arranged for a 'Not the Midnight Walk' where individuals set their own route, leaving later in the morning for safety reasons due to smaller group numbers.
The Charity are appealing to supporters all across Bucks to ‘do something amazing before breakfast’ and set their alarm, along with hundreds of others, for 5am on Saturday 10th July for a dawn walk to raise crucial funds to support the Hospice.
This year supporters are being asked to walk a minimum of 5 miles, wherever they want, starting at 5am on Saturday 10th July.
Ewa is part of the Hospice’s FNH@Home team and is taking part in this year’s NOT The Midnight Walk as she knows firsthand just how important raising money is and the huge benefits it has to the hospice and the services they can offer:
“The Hospice provides such a wonderful support for palliative patients and their families and without the generous donations from the public, these services would not be available.
"FNH@Home provides support to patients who choose to spend their last weeks or days at home, surrounded by family and friends and all their home comforts.
“Having the constant support from the hospice team at home is what many of our patients choose and they truly appreciate being able to have that choice nearing the end of their life, with our team being there to help them on their last journey.
“Without the fundraising events and donations, our hospice services may not be available and that would be enormously devastating for patients and their families.”
