Tell everyone why your walking...
Fun Walk is St Christopher's biggest fundraising event of the year.
2025's event was attended by over 2,500 walkers and raised over a whopping £220,000!
With live music, entertainment, street food and vintage shopping, come join the festival feeling on Keston Common on 10th May 2026!
I'll be there, walking for my local hospice. Sponsor me and help to provide expert end of life care to people in South London.
Thank you.

We did it!
Sunday 10th May My brother got us off to a fast-paced start. We crossed beautiful countryside and walked through woodlands and it didn't even rain on us! Andy had a quiz to keep us focused, the marshals plied us with drinks, sweets and a stamp for the route. My daughters were brilliant and just kept on truckin'. Those formative years of endless Sunday rambles must have paid off! We chose the 5.5 mile route because we felt that would be a sensible length without training (for me!). It was lovely coming through the arch at the end to cheers and bells - we felt like we had finished a marathon! Lovely support from all the volunteers. We will go again next year. Thank you all for the vast amount of money raised in a week or two!! Mum would be so proud of everyones kindness xxx
Mum
Thursday 30th Apr I think everyone knows about my darling Mum. We lost her in January and it still is not sinking in that we won't share a laugh and a shared joke together. Her last few days were at St Christopher's Hospice in Sydenham and they were just wonderful with her.Thank you to my Sponsors
