Join together with hundreds of others to celebrate the lives of those you love and miss

Join the Starlight Hike Thames Valley and take part in Sue Ryder’s biggest fundraising event of the year on Saturday, 5th October.

Walk under the stars at Mapledurham Estate while raising funds in memory of your loved ones in this very special event sponsored by Gravity Personnel and Azego.

Get together with friends and family and challenge yourself to complete the 10k route which wraps around the beautiful grounds of the Estate, with stunning views across the Thames. You’ll have plenty of time to grab yourself refreshments from the Pattie Wagon, enjoy live music by DJ2Play, join in with Michelle’s energetic Zumba warm up, all before setting off on the hike at 6pm.

Near the beginning of the route, you will pass a special remembrance area where you can make a dedication for your loved ones. Around the route you will see stunning light installations, including coloured waves per kilometre marker to help guide you and ensure that you celebrate every step of the way.

Glee choir will be ready to welcome you in harmony at the finish line and you will be handed your well-deserved medal.

By taking part in Sue Ryder Starlight Hike you’re helping ensure people approaching the end of their life or grieving can access the right support at the right time. There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but together we can ensure, no one has to face dying or grief alone.
