A leading North West hospice is calling on the community to get moving this February for a major new fundraising initiative. The Moya Cole Hospice has launched its '100km Your Way' challenge, inviting participants to cover the distance by walking, running, swimming, cycling, or a combination of all four activities.
How the February Fundraising Challenge Works
The event is designed to be completely flexible, allowing people to take part in their own time and at their own pace throughout the month of February. There is no registration fee, meaning every single penny raised goes directly to supporting the hospice's patients and their families.
"We would love as many people as possible to join in and raise what they can to support the patients and families we care for," said Marie Foster, Innovation and Digital Fundraiser at the hospice.
To register, participants are encouraged to join a dedicated Facebook group, with full details available on the hospice website at moyacole.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising/events/. For those not on Facebook, registration is also possible directly through the hospice's webpage.
Support and Incentives for Participants
All those who sign up will receive a free Moya Cole Hospice t-shirt to wear during the challenge, alongside a tracker to help them log their kilometres. Throughout February, fundraisers can share their progress and receive encouragement within the private Facebook group.
Participants are asked to seek sponsorship from friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours to boost their fundraising efforts. The hospice team will be actively following everyone's journey in the online group.
For any additional questions, the hospice can be contacted via email at events@moyacole.org.uk.
The Vital Work of Moya Cole Hospice
The funds raised will make a significant difference to the hospice's wide-ranging services. Moya Cole Hospice provides holistic care to patients with life-limiting illnesses, offering inpatient care, day therapy, and supportive outpatient services from its sites at Heald Green in Stockport and Little Hulton in Salford.
Its teams also deliver extensive community support, including a Hospice at Home service in Salford and Trafford, a Community Specialist Palliative Care Team in Salford, and a dedicated homelessness palliative care service in Manchester. A crucial 24-hour telephone advice line is available to patients, carers, and healthcare professionals across Salford, Manchester, Trafford, and Stockport.
This February challenge represents a key opportunity for the public to engage with and support this essential local institution, promoting health and community spirit while contributing to a profoundly important cause.
