Join the Santa Dash and support local hospice care
We suggest a minimum sponsorship of £50 per person. Every Santa step and every pound raised can make a huge difference for local people living with an incurable illness.
By joining the Nottinghamshire Hospice Santa Dash, you will be helping more local people access vital end-of-life care and support when they need it most.
