The Moonlight Walk is by far the biggest event in the St John's Hospice events calendar, which is why it is so important to us that we have your support, year after year. Last year, we raised a massive £118,000 and this year we need to make sure we can raise as much as we can in 2012 to continue supporting patients and families at a time when they need it the most.
It costs us around £38,000 a week to keep the hospice running, and two thirds of our funding must come from fundraising donations and events such as the Moonlight Walk.
What the Moonlight Walk means to you:
"We feel this is just a small way of thanking all the staff for their wonderful care, generosity, kindness and friendliness at St John's Hospice. Both Grandma and Grandad were both looked after at St John's and we feel that we couldn't have asked for a better environment for them to be cared for during their final few months, weeks and days. Thank you from us all."

"This walk not only gives funds to the hospice but also gives people the chance to express how much they care. The buzz on the evening of all those women walking together is overwhelming."
– Claire from Morecambe
"Nothing I can do will repay the staff for the care they gave my Dad, but I will do what I can to help ensure they are there for the next family and the next."
