Your Fundraising Pledge
Places cost £65 and we ask that you raise a minimum of £300 in sponsorship in support of St Oswald’s Hospice. Your commitment to fundraise is a direct commitment to our patients and families who you will be running for.
The reason that you hitting your fundraising target is so important is that each charity Great North Run place, once you pay your registration fee of £65, still costs the hospice a further £115. These are the costs of the charity package we buy from Great Run. Once you have raised £115, all of the money you make in sponsorship will come directly to the hospice as a donation.
This is why we ask for you to raise a minimum of £300 – to ensure that not only does your fundraising cover our costs but a proportion can be used where it is needed most – helping us to continue to provide vital care and support to local families.
We’ll send you a fundraising pack containing lots of advice and information, a sponsor form and regular email updates to support you. We are always at the end of the phone if you need us. The sooner you sign up, the more time you have to fundraise. Spreading your target over several months takes the pressure off you have much longer to train too!
