What are teachers saying about Final Mile?

"The Children's Hospice Final Mile has been a great success for the last two years. The children at Fremington School loved seeing Buddy the Bear come in and encourage them to complete their 12 miles whilst raising awareness of what this wonderful charity does. We look forward to signing up again and digging out those running shoes for 2026!"

Sean Downing, Class Teacher and PE Lead

How your miles turn into smiles

Every pound you raise will go to supporting babies, children, young people and their families:

🏃 £5 could buy the ingredients for a birthday cake to make memories that last a lifetime

🏃 £10 could pay for paints and materials for messy play - helping children and young people express how they feel in creative ways

🏃 £25 could help fund fun family times in the hydrotherapy pool at the hospice to make memories together

🏃 £30 could help fund a virtual Music Therapy session to help children and young people to express their thoughts and feelings
