Get ready for some Knock-out fun this September
Aug 10, 2011
Brummies and Sandwell folk are invited to take part in some knock-out fun this September to help raise funds for a local hospice.
Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice is staging an It’s a Knock-out Challenge in Selly Park on Saturday, September 3, between 1pm and 3pm.
Organisers say the event, which is open to teams of between six and 10 people, will be just like the TV show from the ‘70s and ‘80s, with a variety of slippery and laughter-inducing obstacles.
Participants will compete for an array of prizes, with a booby prize for the losers, and money raised will fund care in Birmingham and Sandwell for people with life-limiting illnesses as well as support for their families.
Booking forms can be downloaded at www.bsmh.org.uk, or for further information contact Jo at joanne.proudler@bsmh.org.uk, or on 0121 472 1191.
Entry per person costs £45 plus £50 minimum sponsorship donation, based on a team of 10 people.
Each year Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice cares for around 1,000 people with terminal conditions, the majority of whom are looked after in their homes, surrounded by family and friends.
Those with more complex medical needs are able to stay in the Hospice’s Inpatient Unit in Selly Park for respite or symptom control.
Birmingham St Mary’s Day Hospice, on the same site, offers patients with less advanced conditions the chance of a weekly visit to receive medical support, complementary and creative therapies and friendship, whilst giving their home carers some time off.
