Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas is coming!
Wednesday 25 June 2008
Who says it's too soon to start thinking of Christmas? These sunglass wearing Santas arrived in Llandudno this week and although they were a little early for the 2008 Hope House Children's Hospices Santa Runs they had a fantastic time trying out the other attractions.
These Santas and hundreds more will be descending on Llandudno and Oswestry for this year's festive fun runs on Sunday, December 7th. This year we are hoping to hold the Llandudno Ty Gobaith Santa Run at 11am and the Oswestry Hope House Santa Run at 5pm to enable all those energetic people who told us they would like an opportunity to do both to have their wish come true!
We are also looking at a possible third run in the afternoon in Cheshire. Watch this space for more details.
Last year the Llandudno and Oswestry runs attracted more than 1,200 entries, including families that visit the two hospices along with care team members. Together we raised a fabulous £75,000 to help fund our vital services and everyone had a fantastic family day out enjoying the fun run and all the road-show entertainment at the start of the race.
If you would like to get involved this year, why not pop the date in your diary now and email our Fundraising Team to ensure that you are the first to receive the entry details when they are sent out in August. Send either your email address or name and address to fundraising@tygobaith.org.uk or fundraising@hopehouse.org.uk. This time you will need a separate entry form for every person, so don't forget to tell us how many people are in your group.
