Phyllis Tuckwell's Dash of Colour fun run, celebrating the opening of the new Hospice, will take place on Saturday, July 4 at 1pm at Frimley Lodge Park. Participants can walk, jog, or run a 2.5k or 5k route, showered with colourful powder paint along the way.
Fundraising for Vital Care
Sponsorship funds raised will support expert medical, nursing, therapeutic, emotional, and practical care for local people with advanced or terminal illnesses. Phyllis Tuckwell cares for over 2,200 patients annually and supports their loved ones. NHS/Government funding covers only about 25% of costs, requiring over £30,000 daily to provide services.
Raising just £27 can fund an hour’s care from an In-Patient Unit nurse; £40 covers a counselling session for a patient or relative; £75 pays for three hours of physiotherapy; and £130 supports a Living Well group session.
Community Event
Registration includes a Dash of Colour T-shirt and a powder paint sachet. Participants can join with family, friends, or colleagues, and may take part in memory of a loved one. “There’s always such an uplifting, community feel to Dash of Colour, with people of all ages taking part - it’s the perfect way to celebrate the opening of your new Hospice,” said Ruth Masters, fundraising manager at Phyllis Tuckwell.
