Virtual Walk of Hope 2020 in Southampton

Virtual Walk of Hope 2020

This year our annual Walk for Hope event is coming to you virtually!
Join us on Sunday 6th September 2020 as Team Wessex walkers in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight Walk for Hope Your Way!

Choose your distance from our 5, 10 or 20 mile challenges and enjoy walking your chosen route whether that be along the coast, winding through woodland or trekking across fields! You can complete your walk with friends or family, at your own pace and in your own local area.
Even though we won’t be together physically this year, this is the perfect way to come together as a community and give hope to friends and family undergoing cancer treatment, celebrate those who have survived, remember loved ones and support everyone affected by cancer.
This year we have created a website just for Walk for Hope - Your Way!
You can register at https://www.walkforhope.co.uk/online and set up your fundraising page. You can also link your Strava or FitBit account to track your miles. There’s a fundraising leaderboard to help you monitor your progress and compete with friends and family.

Registration - £10 per person
Fundraising goal - £100 per person

Entrants receive an official Walk for Hope t-shirt, a fundraising pack, a training and event guide, and membership to a Facebook group where you can meet other participants and share fundraising and training tips.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the team!

Wessex Cancer Trust believes that there should be help and support available to everyone living with cancer, when and where they need it.
Every year around 23,000 people are diagnosed with cancer within the Wessex region. A diagnosis can be a shock and have a huge impact on an entire family. Wessex Cancer Trust helps and supports anyone affected by cancer regardless of age, gender or type of cancer. Our dedicated team are committed to offering free support for as long as people need it, away from a hospital environment.
At all our cancer Support Centres, clients are welcomed by volunteer befrienders who are equipped to provide information, support and a listening ear. A team of specialist counsellors are on hand help deal with the emotional impact of cancer, and complementary therapies aim to improve well-being, help with pain management and increase self-confidence.
We provide health and well-being information, exercise programmes and courses to help you move on from cancer.
Each year Wessex Cancer Trust reaches over 11,000 people in the local community.
