The Midnight Walk

Thank you to all of the wonderful walkers and volunteers who joined us on Saturday for a wet but wonderful walk!

Despite the rain lashing down as everyone arrived, an upbeat limbo contest and energetic Zumba session created an upbeat mood as the crowds set off into the rain.  The weather was certainly tropical, but despite that everyone set off in great spirits and got a heroes welcome as they crossed the finish line.

We're so proud of everyone who braved the elements for us in flashing bunny ears and grass skirts to dodge the puddles and complete the miles. 

At this sponsored walk, every step makes a difference for the patients and families who need our care - day and night. As we walked through the night, our nurses and support team are helping patients and answering calls through our 24 hour Advice Line even in the middle of the night. 

We are thrilled to announce that the walkers have together raised over £33,900! This total raised in sponsorship and donations will make a real difference for so many.

Since 2010, The Midnight Walk has turned into a strolling street party with fabulous themes, routes that take in all sides of Bristol, and hundreds of brilliant supporters taking part in their brightest outfits and fancy dress. Since it began, The Midnight Walk has raised over £1.28 million. That's enough to keep all Hospice services running for more than 70 days!

The Midnight Walk has been a highlight of our fundraising calendar for the past 13 years, and this final year of the walk was one to remember. We look forward to a new challenge for future years!
