The event will again take place at the Weston Homes Community Stadium the home of Colchester United and registration is now open for teams to get their places confirmed at the event.

Night Vision Relay is a 12 hour fun-filled team relay event and is designed for people of all ages and abilities. The aim of the relay is for participants to walk, run, jog or stroll around the course, keeping at least one team member on the track at all times. As it’s a twelve hour challenge there is no limit on the number of people per team. 

Teams can be made up of friends, family members, colleagues or groups and associations…the more the merrier! This is a sponsored event but there is no minimum amount to raise – every penny counts and will help St Helena Hospice make a difference to someone’s life.

On the day, participants will have the opportunity to acquire a floating lantern. Each lantern can be personalised with a message, a note, a drawing, or a poem to represent someone special. As darkness falls the lanterns will be released.

To find out more or to request a registration pack please contact the St Helena Hospice Fundraising Office on 01206 791740.

“Decisions at the end of life can be incredibly difficult, and medical advances have added to the complexity. Throughout the development of the guidance, I have been deeply impressed by the commitment, sensitivity and thoughtfulness shown by doctors, nurses and others working with patients who are approaching the end of life.  We considered the many responses we received to the consultation with great care and they have helped us shape this guidance, which will support doctors to make decisions within a clear framework of principles, which are ethically and legally accepted within our society.”
