Calling all runners! Demelza Hospice Care for
Children is holding its 10th anniversary Demelza
Run at Leeds Castle and it needs you!
The Kent-based charity first started the

like to welcome any runners who have taken part
since then back to a special 10th anniversary
run on Sunday 21st September.
Entry to the 5K or 10K run is £15 per adult

of four, including two adults and two children, is
available for £35. The entry price includes a ticket

Mickey and Minnie Mouse will also be there
on the day to spur the runners on.
Runners are encouraged to raise as much
money as possible through sponsorship, with a

fundraising pack available to all entrants. Prizes
will be on offer to the individuals who have raised
the most money and for the best corporate team
fundraiser. There are also team entry options.
