The walk starts at 7pm and with a lively warm up, plus lots of fun activities to get involved in, it’s sure to be a night you won’t forget. Both routes will pass through Wheatfields Hospice where you can visit our Starlight Garden and dedicate a message to loved ones.
Denise Adamson took part in the Starlight Hike last year and said
“I would recommend that everybody gives the Starlight Hike a try. It was such a friendly atmosphere and was a fun way for us to show our thanks to Wheatfields. With the help of all our family, friends and work colleagues we raised £1,374.”
Community Fundraiser at Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice Michelle Darbyshire said:
“It promises to be a very special event and every penny raised really does help to support the expert and compassionate palliative care we provide here at Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice.”
Whether you’re walking in memory of a loved one or simply taking on the challenge, be part of our Starlight Hike and help to raise money for your local hospice, Wheatfields.
Although we don’t stipulate a minimum amount of sponsorship to be raised, this is a charity event to raise funds for Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice so we do encourage people to raise at least £140, which could pay for a hospice nurse for a day, and we hope that everyone will raise as much as they can.
You’ll be able to set up an online fundraising page after you’ve completed the registration form. We can also help with providing paper sponsor forms, collection tins and any other fundraising items.

Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice is in Headingley, Leeds, is there for people aged 18 and over, dying from life-limiting conditions like cancer, heart failure and lung disease. Whether we support people in our inpatient unit or their own homes, our focus is on quality of life. Without the support from the community, families will have to miss out on cherished memories as they deal with the realities of taking care of someone with a life limiting condition alone.
