Join #TeamRoccos today and fundraise for St Rocco’s Hospice!

St. Rocco’s Hospice provides specialist care and support, across the community of Warrington, helping those who have been diagnosed with a life limiting illness and their loved ones.  We rely on the generosity of people donating and fundraising to provide over £5million each year, to continue to provide our valuable services.   

 

Our services include a 10-bed in-patient unit, a Vitality Centre and in the community our Hospice at Home service.  In the Vitality Centre patients can receive physiotherapy and complimentary therapy such as reiki. We also have a family support team that are dedicated to helping those touched by terminal illness.  All these services focus on enabling people to live life to the full,  and are provided free to patients and their families, but we can only do this because of the generosity of the local community.  

We focus on the positives, by supporting patients physically, psychologically, and emotionally to enable them to carry on living the lives they want to live, for as long as possible. Our aim is to be able to continue to help our patients improve their quality of life for them and their loved ones.

 So, will you take on the challenge and ‘Run for St Rocco’s’ to help us raise money to care for our patients and their loved ones?

This year, we are excited to announce we have charity places available in the junior race and we would love to welcome ‘Mini Rocco’s’ to sign up and join in the fun.  Anyone from age 4+ can take part and run a shorter distance (1-1.5km) and an adult can run alongside them for support.

When you join, you’ll receive:

  • A free #TeamRoccos running vest
  • Specialist support from our events team to help with your training and fundraising
  • A fundraising pack with ideas, hints and tips
  • Once registered, a fundraising page will be automatically opened via Enthuse, so you can start your hassle free, fundraising journey.
  • The feeling of pride that you are supporting a worthwhile cause!

 In return for one of our places, we ask that you pledge to raise a minimum sponsorship of £30 for the junior race, £100 for the 5k, £150 for the 10k and £200 for the half marathon.
