We care because you do.🩵

Many of this amazing team (and more) will be out on Mile 3, The Willen Mile at the Midnight Moo. We call it the thank you mile, it's our chance to cheer you on and show just how much your support means.

Behind the cow-print and puns is, of course, a serious message.

Without your support,families across Milton Keynes wouldn’t have access to the compassionate, expert care our nurses provide, that many of you have experienced.

It's your hospice, run on your donations.

We care because you Moo.🐄

We know it’s hard to talk about death and dying, you can often feel alone in your grief after someone special dies.

For one night on 26 June MK comes together in our grief to celebrate the lives of those we miss. 🩵

Whilst our headline fundraising event is rooted in helping to raise 9.6 million needed to fund our care in MK, the feeling of togetherness and community is undeniable.

Many of our Moo-ers have experienced our care, or are walking to support someone who has, and understand just how special it is.

It’s so much more than clinical care. It’s a knowing smile, it’s honest conversations in a safe and comfortable environment, it’s tears, laughter and love all which can be felt on Midnight Moo night.

We offer many ways to remember your loved one on your Moo Journey, right from sign up to dedication on the night:

🩵Name your team name in memory of your loved one
🩵Write their name in the dedicated space on your Moo T Shirt
🩵Honour their memory and share your story with us on the night
🩵Leave a message on a leaf on our Memory Tree at Middleton Hall
🩵Decorate your paper lantern in their honour and see it light your way with others on the route

You don’t need a team to feel supported, meet up with other solo Moo-ers at the meeting point on the night or make some new friends in our Facebook group ahead of the night.

Walk in memory of your loved one and sign up here: https://ow.ly/4tJm50YWspo
