Team Finley for Grandad, Peter Walsh
A message from Finley
My name is Finley, and I’m taking part in the Fun Walk for St Christopher's Hospice in memory of my grandad, Peter Walsh.
Grandad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2021, and sadly passed away in February this year.
I would like your help in fundraising for St Christopher’s Hospice who looked after grandad and nana over the past 3 and a half years.
You can sponsor me, or join me on the day with family and friends on Sunday 11th May 2025 as part of “Team Finley for Grandad”.
Thank you
Finley xx

With live music, entertainment, street food and vintage shopping, come join the festival feeling on Keston Common on 11th May 2025.
