How you can make an impact
Birmingham Hospice isn't fully funded by the NHS - we need to raise a huge £8m this year to continue running our services.
The cost of your ticket helps us cover the event - but its your fundraising and sponsorship that makes the really big difference. Every pound you raise helps fund expert hospice care for people across the city.
Volunteer at events
A huge part of our events are our amazing volunteers. In fact, we can't put on events without them.
If you fancy helping on the day - either setting up the event, manning the drinks stall or registrations - we'd love to have you there.

Child's sizes are: 5-8 years, 9-11 years.

All under 18’s will need to register and run with a responsible adult aged 18 or over. If you sign up additional under 18’s for your team you will be asked to name the registered adult running with them.
