A special thank you to the Mix 96 FM Mix Monster too, for giving all our superheroes a big hug at the finish line. Superheroes – did you see the Batmobile on Sunday? The Mix Monster did! Thanks to our Scally Rally boys Martin and David for bringing it down for all our superheroes to see.

A very BIG thank you to all our wonderful superheroes who took part in Aylesbury’s First Superhero event this morning. 110 people signed up, including Mums, Dads, Kids and 12-week-old Ruby and Lily! What a fantastic morning, with some fantastic costumes – everything from Superman, Spiderman, Ben 10, Wonder Woman, bar tender, deep sea diver, Captain America (who zoomed round the course to finish first!) and many, many more. And the rain held off!! Thank you and well done to everyone – our superheroes, super marshals, super local businesses, super volunteers – your help and support will go a long way in helping to raise money for the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity, which needs half a million pounds each year to keep essential local services running for families affected by life-limiting illness. See you again next year!!

Over 100 superheroes have signed up so far – it’s not too late to take part! You won’t be wanting for company.

It’s the last chance (almost) to sign up.

Aylesbury Superhero will be taking place in Hospice Care Week – a week-long national awareness campaign running from October 8th-14th, highlighting the work of Hospices across the UK. Find out more about how you can get involved in supporting the Florence Nightingale Hospice throughout the week.
