Winter can be tough for all of us, with dark, cold, short days. But for some, this time is exceptionally precious, as they face their final days and moments with family and friends.

You can help by committing to dash every day this December and raise funds to provide the gift of expert care, advice and compassion.

How can I take part?

Choose your pace and distance - then walk, jog or run 1k, 3k or 5k every day this December.

Join the December Daily Dash and you will:

  • Be part of a supportive Dash community to keep you motivated by joining our Facebook group.
  • Receive a free Dash beanie when you fundraise over £20.*
  • Receive an exclusive Dash medal once you have completed your challenge.

*Terms and conditions apply: To receive your Dash Beanie, you must have opted-in at sign up and fundraised a minimum of £20. While stocks last.

Every step you take will make a difference

Estimates suggest up to 90% of all people dying in England may have palliative care needs.

Just imagine what it must feel like for people facing death who don't receive the specialist end-of-life care they need. Instead of their final days being peaceful and dignified, they face a painful, isolated experience.

No one deserves this. And it just doesn't have to be this way. By completing your challenge and raising sponsorship you can help provide expert care and compassion and ensure that fewer people need face death or grief alone.

Mike and Brenda's story

If you're considering signing up for the December Daily Dash, Mike and Brenda's story shows the tangible and impactful difference your fundraising will make.

Mike's partner Brenda died a few weeks before Christmas while Mike was fundraising for the December Daily Dash. For three years after that, Mike completed his Dash on the anniversary of Brenda's death. He always did his 5k around the grounds of one of Sue Ryder's hospices in Cheltenham.
