Take on a challenge

Take on one of these epic challenges all while raising vital funds for Bolton Hospice. Could your latest fundraising challenge be listed below?

Sunrise Snowdon Challenge

When? 28th September 2024

What? Experience the quiet majesty of Snowdon at dawn with a guided sunrise walk, and raise vital funds for Bolton Hospice.

Yr Wyddfa (as it is known locally in Welsh) is the highest peak in Wales and at 1085m high, it’s a tough climb to reach the summit, especially as you will be in the dark. However, you are rewarded with tremendous sunrise views over the coast and northern Snowdonia from its lofty heights.

The cost to book on is £51 per person, and we suggest you aim to raise a minimum of £150 for Bolton Hospice.

Manchester Half Marathon

When? 13th October 2024

What? The Manchester Half is a 13.1 mile challenge that takes place every October, starting and finishing by Old Trafford, and is easily the biggest in the region with over 16,000 runners. It’s an event that aims to truly represent all the wonderful people of Manchester, and celebrate our achievements.

Chloe's Story

Matthew's Story

Dedicate your medal in memory of a loved one

Every medal tells a story.

We know that many of our supporters take on a challenge in memory of their loved one who meant so much to them, and to say thank you to the hospice for the care their loved one received at the most difficult time.

This year, we would love to give everyone who takes on a challenge the opportunity to display their medal at the hospice and to share their story.

We want to celebrate the achievements of our fabulous supporters, thank them for their fundraising efforts and most importantly, pay tribute to their loved one.

We took inspiration from supporter Matthew Pemrick who dedicated his Ironman medal to the nurses at the hospice in memory of his Mum Kath Pemrick. It meant so much to our nurses to hear Matthew had dedicated his medal and they loved hearing about the epic challenge he took on to help raise funds for the hospice.
