Walkies for West Herts Hospitals

Join our first-ever 100km dog walking challenge!

This May, we’re inviting you and your four-legged friends to step out for a paws-some cause! Walkies for West Herts Hospitals is your chance to get active, enjoy the spring sunshine, and support patients and staff at Watford General, St Albans City, and Hemel Hempstead Hospitals.

Why Your Miles Matter

By taking part, you are supporting our Caring for Generations appeal. Your fundraising helps us go above and beyond for our community. Your steps could help fund:

  • A specialist activities space for patients living with dementia on Oxhey Ward.
  • Brighter, child-friendly isolation rooms on Starfish Ward to make hospital stays less daunting for our youngest patients.

The challenge: cover 100km in 31 days

Are you ready to go the distance? We are challenging you and your faithful friend to cover 100km throughout the month of May. Complete the challenge your route, your pace, and your way. Whether you’re exploring local trails or strolling through the park, every kilometre you clock up helps support patients and staff across West Herts.
