Local Success Story
Northamptonshire Primary Schools enter 1000 pupils into the festive fundraising fun run for the local hospice!
December starts next week with a festive fundraising fun run for Cynthia Spencer Hospice. The charity is hosting a Virtual Reindeer Run in the lead-up to Christmas, in which anyone can sign up to participate in the race wearing reindeer antlers.
You can choose your own date, location, and distance to suit all ages and abilities. If running isn’t for you, you can walk, skip, or jog.
All participants will receive a pair of reindeer antlers, and anyone who raises £50 or more in sponsorship will receive a medal. Schools are also encouraged to participate, with two Northamptonshire primary schools entering all their combined 1000 pupils!
Michelle Morris, Community and Events Lead at Cynthia Spencer Hospice, said: “Join us for this fun Christmas running challenge and have lots of fun while helping us raise vital funds for the hospice. Why not invite your friends and family to join you too!”
“It is not essential to fundraise for this challenge, but we welcome any donations to support the great work that the Cynthia Spencer Hospice carries out. Keen runners can even sync a Strava account to their fundraising page, so supporters can see your Reindeer Run! If you do take part, please don’t forget to share your pictures with us so we can share in your fun.”
Entry to the Reindeer Run is just £5 per person, which includes antlers and postage and packaging.
