Running in memory
Many families and friends like to run as part of their annual Christmas celebrations. Why not do the same and run whilst remembering a loved one?
It’s a great way to give back for the care your loved one received, and can be a healing experience around grief. Let us know on your registration or on the day and we will give you a memory bib to write your loved one's name.
What we do
At Princess Alice we provide free palliative and end of life care. Our team of specialist nurses, doctors, therapists, social workers and bereavement volunteers work at our Hospice in Esher, and with families at home. They are all experts in end of life care who put compassion and respect at the heart of everything they do.
We care for people across 600 square miles in Surrey and South West London, supporting families before, during, and after death.
At any one time, we care for around 1,000 patients but did you know only a small proportion of our care is delivered at the Hospice in Esher.
Most of our care is delivered in people's homes, allowing them to be at home surrounded by their loved ones.
Raised so far (in fundraising and donations)
What we have raised so far doesn’t include ticket sales (this cost only covers our set up costs) which is why your donation or fundraising is so important to us. This is a collective effort of all our Santa Fun Runners and every little bit all adds up to help reach our target!
Thanks for your support.
Volunteer with us
We are always looking for volunteers to help out at our events! Let us know if you can help at this year's Santa Fun Run.
FAQs
-
No, the entry fee only covers our set-up costs. We are only able to continue offering our free care due to sponsorship money and donations received from events like the Santa Fun Run. If you prefer this method of supporting us, you can donate at the point of registration instead of asking for sponsorship.

Location
Bushy Park is one of London’s eight Royal Parks and covers an area of 1,099 acres, the second largest of the capital’s eight Royal Parks. It is famed for its mix of waterways, gardens and grassland, and roaming herds of red and fallow deer.
The meeting point at Bushy Park is next to the Diana (Arethusa) Fountain car park, nearest to the Hampton Court Gate. Look out for the pink gazebos.
If driving please note the Diana Fountain car park can only be accessed from the Hampton Court end. If you arrive from the Teddington gate you will need to park in the Pheasantry car park and walk to the Diana Fountain car park. We will then all walk over to the start point together.
More details are available via our Santa Fun Run Participants Information.
