Sussex hospice reveals return of Midnight Walk

The St Catherine’s Hospice Midnight Walk is one of the charity’s largest fundraising events raising vital funds to help terminally ill people across the community.

After postponing the original Midnight Walk in June, the hospice said it is thrilled to announce the Midnight Walk is back.

Michaela Clements, events fundraising manager at St Catherine’s added: “Taking place on Saturday December 12 2020 from 4pm, this is your chance to do something amazing and help end the year on a positive note! Sign up today and show local families facing terminal illness that they aren’t alone.”

This year, the community can’t all walk through Horsham together, so the Midnight Walk will be a bit different but no less special.

St Catherine’s is calling on people like you to get together with a small group of friends and family and walk your own two, seven, 13 or 20 mile Midnight Walk.

Michaela said: “While you do, you’ll know that other hospice supporters are doing the same thing at the same time.

“The local hospice will send you everything you need to take part and fundraise safely, and on the night St Catherine’s staff will set you off walking in style, with a special Facebook Live pre-walk celebration including entertainment, inspiration and a virtual warm up.

“After the year we’ve all had, we all deserve something to look forward to – St Catherine’s Midnight Walk will be an unmissable, magical evening.

“And every step you take will be special because you’ll be remembering the people you love and supporting your local hospice.

St Catherine’s knows that for people walking in memory of someone they love Christmas time can feel especially poignant, she added.
