Dying Matters Walk

Everyone is walking to support our local Hospices

Most people in Rutland know at least someone who has been touched and is thankful for the wonderful care our local hospices provide to allow people to die with the dignity and support they need.  

The sponsored walk is part of an ongoing collaboration between Dying Matters in Rutland, LOROS, Sue Ryder and Dove Cottage, to help ensure people in Rutland, Leicestershire and our region can have the best end of life possible. Hospices rely on the community for much of their funding and that is why we would like invite everyone to participate.

You can book your tickets here

So, please come and enjoy the beauty of Rutland Water, good company, healthy exercise and get your friends to either join in or sponsor you!  This is a great cause, and we need to raise as much funding as possible.

The walk will start at Whitwell car park from 9.30am. Walkers will be able to take part at their preferred pace, with a choice of 3 routes, ranging from 5, 28 and 38 kms. for the athletes amongst us.  Or, if you prefer to do a shorter walk that's also possible!   You will be provided with a map with alternative routes at the registration desk at Whitwell Car Park, Rutland Water. 

All ages are very welcome and even dogs can join too, as long as they are on a lead.  

Please remember to bring a refillable water bottle on the day, as water will be made available during the walk.  

For anyone who would like to make a day of it, you can stop off for lunch at the Horse and Jockey at Manton (cost not included in ticket pice).  

​It's a great opportunity to give something back for the amazing end of life care our local hospice continue provide to so many people in Rutland.
