St. Joseph's Hospice is pulling a team together for this year’s BTR Liverpool Santa Dash - and is looking for supporters from across West Lancashire to sign up.

The 14th annual BTR Liverpool Santa Dash takes place on Sunday 3rd December and you can support the hospice by signing up and setting up a hospice fundraising page.

It's the UK’s biggest festive 5K fun run, and starts at Pier Head at 9.30am and is followed, at approximately 11am, by a 1K Mini Dash.

Standard entry for the Santa Dash is £22 and the Mini Dash is £11. As the entry fee only covers operational costs and a Santa suit, all runners or walkers will need to raise their own sponsorship to support the work of the hospice.

Senior hospice fundraiser, Julie McAdam, said: “We are really excited to be taking part in this year’s Liverpool Santa Dash so, if you would like to support the hospice, please join our team.

“It costs £8,750 every day to run the hospice and all the donations we receive will make a huge difference to the lives of our patients and their families at their most difficult time.”
