Truro Santa Fun Run

**Registration has now closed! Please join us on the night to sign up at the event**

The Cornwall Hospice Care Santa’s are returning for another season of festive themed fun.

Join us and our title sponsor, Ann’s Cottage Surf Shops, on Wednesday 11^th December as we return to Truro for some late night shopping running fun!

There will be a festive warm up at 6.30 pm, before the Fun Run sets off at 6.45 pm. You can run, jog or walk around the streets of Truro, absorbing the atmosphere of the late night shopping and Christmas lights, dressed in your free Santa suit. Then, why not join us at the finish for a mince pie and your finisher’s medal, before heading back to the City to soak up the atmosphere, and tick a few presents off your list?

Sign up today and kick-start some Christmas spirit, whilst supporting your local adult hospices and all that we do for those who are terminally ill in Cornwall.

Your entry fee covers the cost of putting on this event, so anything you can raise as sponsorship will help fund our care of those terminally ill in Cornwall, just £20 will fund an hour of nursing care; how many hours can you fund?

Online entries close at midday on Friday 6^th December.
We will be taking entries for the Santa Run on the day – registration will open at 5.00 pm. You can pick up your Santa Suits on the day.

Come prepared to decorate your suits with lights, tinsel, deely-boppers.

Every year it costs over £5.35 million to provide the specialist care we offer to our in and out patients. Only 19% of this is funded through a contribution from Cornwall’s NHS Commissioners, in simple terms, the NHS contribution pays for just 11 weeks of care each year. We rely on the generosity of people like you in Cornwall who leave us legacies, support fundraising events, play our lottery and visit our 31 shops.

£60 could pay for three hours of unrivalled specialist care from one of our nurses, helping patients who are terminally ill.

£37 could pay for one Lymphoedema appointment to ease swelling and symptoms for someone with cancer.

£23 could pay for an hour with our bereavement counsellor, supporting families  through the loss of a loved one.
