DO SOMETHING AMAZING IN 2021 AND

WA L K T H E W I G H T W I T H M O U N T B AT T E N

We cannot wait for the return of our unique and world-famous walk that annually sees thousands of people walking across the beautiful Isle of Wight countryside to raise money in support of Mountbatten.

P

assing through scenic countryside and picturesque villages, past famous landmarks and taking in stunning seascapes, Walk the Wight really shows off the Island in all its glory. With a choice of walks and distances, people of all ages and abilities can take part, making this an event for everyone, so get those walking boots on and take on the challenge! Your efforts will help raise vital funds to help ensure that no-one is left to die alone, and that loved ones who are left behind will have the bereavement support to help them cope with their feelings and emotions once someone has died. By taking part you will be making a huge difference to how people on the Isle of Wight will experience the end of their lives. Walk the Wight Your Way In 2020 we asked you to get creative and Walk the Wight Your Way. Whilst unable to take part in the traditional walk, people came up with some brilliant ways to cover the miles they would have walked on the day. This year Walk the Wight Your Way is back by popular demand, and there’s more time to complete it. Being a fully

inclusive event, anyone can take part and do it their way. From the 1st April through to the 12th September, we are asking you to take on your own personal challenge and be part of this incredible community event. Mountbatten CEO Nigel Hartley says: “We hope that as many Islanders as possible and those from further afield will support us to get Walk the Wight back on the map in autumn 2021 as one of the largest walks of its kind. Please support us and let all your friends know that we will be able to walk across our wonderful Island to support Mountbatten on Sunday 12th September 2021. By taking part you will be making a huge difference to how people on the Isle of Wight will experience the end of their lives.” Join our virtual community We also have the Walk the Wight Your Way Facebook group.
