Proud sponsors of St David’s Hospice Care 10K Steps A Day Challenge

I would walk 10,000 steps for hospice....

The distance may not be a far as Scots band The Proclaimers' 10,000 miles but Kymin's month of May challenge is certainly a step in the right direction in supporting local hospice, St David’s Hospice Care.

Robin, managing director of financial planners, Kymin, and team are preparing to put their best feet forward and are not only taking part in the 10,000 steps a day in May challenge but Kymin are also sponsors of the event in aid of the Newport-based hospice.

Robin, said: "It's never been more important than now to support the hospice which has been experiencing its most challenging time in its forty-plus year history.

"The hospice's shops have all been closed and fund-raising events cancelled due to the pandemic. Despite this the hospice has continued to support the community throughout this most difficult time.

"Many of the team members are personally supporting the 10,000 step challenge to get fundraising going once more for the hospice. The challenge will encourage people across all walks of life and age ranges to get out and about after getting back to work after lock-down. Physical as well as mental fitness is more important than ever after the last 12 months.”

Robin, Chris and other team members aim to complete the 10,000 steps a day challenge by walking from home to the office and completing a River Usk circuit during the day.

Tania Ansell, of St David's Hospice Care, said: "Once more we can count on Kymin for giving us such wonderful support, they have been fabulous supporters over the years and are a shining example of how a local business can engage with us for the greater good. We would ask that everyone gets involved with this new campaign, 10,000 steps is a challenge to complete each day but the health rewards speak for themselves. Raising the funds will support those patients and families most in need living locally within our communities. We have all heard about virtual events over the past 12 months, now is the time to step up and step out to help your local hospice. We were established in 1979, we’ve helped thousands upon thousands of people locally in our 42 years, please help us now as we look to the future.”
