Stride4Life 2022

Stride4Life 2022 is back!

This summer, as we finally emerge from all COVID related restrictions, we are resurrecting our flagship Stride4Life event albeit in an initially smaller format. We also plan to combine the event with the NHS Big Tea 2022 | Valley Hospital Charity which celebrates our wonderful NHS's 74th birthday and refreshments will be available on the green to that end.

We hope you will get behind the event again and help us raise vital funds for our Cancer Fighting Fund. The money raised through Stride4Life helps us to improve the experience and outcome for our Cancer patients at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust.

We have attached a short interview with Professor Madaan, Consultant Urological Surgeon & Lead Cancer Clinician at Darent Valley Hospital, who explains why, as COVID-19 becomes endemic, it is so important to increase fundraising for Cancer care and research.

The Challenge

Commit to walk the 1 mile (aka Woodgates Stroll), 2 mile (aka Warwick Walk) or 5 mile (aka Darenth Stride) course and we will reward you with a Stride4Life medal!

And once you have completed your walk we hope you will partake of a NHS Big Tea (coffee or soft drink) on the green.

How it works

• Complete the online registration form for the challenge you and your family/party wish to take on Sunday 3rd July 2022.
• You will be asked to pay a £5 registration fee per adult (£4 for the Woodgates stroll). Children under 18 are free.
• We will then send you a confirmation email with a link to the event sponsorship form, as well as details on how to donate or set up a Just Giving fundraising page. Anything you can raise from friends, family and colleagues would be gratefully received.
• CAR PARKING is FREE
