Gloucestershire residents are being called to join national palliative and bereavement support charity Sue Ryder this October for their annual 10k hike beneath the stars to celebrate someone special.  

Sue Ryder Starlight Hike Cheltenham, kindly sponsored by Capita and supported by Creed Foodservice, in2print, will be back at Ashley Manor Preparatory School on the evening of Saturday 19 October 2024, and it is hoped that hundreds of walkers will gather their friends, family, and colleagues in support of the charity’s night-lit walk. 

 The popular fundraiser begins at 6pm giving people plenty of time to soak up the live music from i-Sing and take part in a fun Clubbercise warm-up before walkers set off in waves from 8pm on the family-friendly 10k route, with live entertainment along the way.

 There will also be the opportunity for participants to pass through the softly lit tranquil grounds of Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, warmly welcomed on arrival by the Tapestry Choir, and place a star for someone they love and miss. 

 And, as Sue Ryder makes steps to make the event greener, brand new for this year will be a donation station where people can bring their unwanted clothes to be sold in our Sue Ryder charity shops, helping to reduce waste and support the charity’s vital services. 

Sign up today at sueryder.org/StarlightCheltenham or contact the Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice fundraising team via email Leckhampton.events@sueryder.org or by calling 01242 395 450. 

Standard tickets start from £20 per adult. 

 Money raised through the event will help Sue Ryder continue to be there for families when it matters.
