Staff and volunteers at Earl Mountbatten Hospice are hoping the Island community can once again pull together and this year raise a whopping £300,000 through Walk the Wight.
The ambitious target is £50k more than last year’s silver anniversary target but CEO Nigel Hartley is confident the event will continue to exceed expectations.
He says the depth of feeling for the Hospice from the Island community and beyond shouldn’t be under-estimated.
We urge everyone to get involved
Nigel said,
“Last year we raised over £270k and exceeded our target – I am sure we will see that same level of commitment and drive from everyone taking part this year.
“We want to raise £300k to help ensure our Hospice continues to be fit for purpose not just right now, but for generations to come.
“The Walk is such an integral part of the Island’s annual calendar and we urge everyone to get involved and get behind our Hospice.”
