Boro's Chosen Charities
Santas Have The Run Of The Riverside
BORO once again joined forces with fans to raise funds for the Butterwick Hospice as dozens of Santas completed a 2.5km run around the Riverside Stadium.
Santas of all ages, shapes and sizes paid for the privilege of dressing up in red and white for Sunday's event.
The hospice hopes each Santa will also raise as much sponsorship as possible to provide respite and end of life care to children from across the region.
Butterwick Hospice Care incorporates Butterwick Hospice in Stockton, Butterwick House Children's Hospice and Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland.
The charity provides pain and symptom control, end of life, respite, day and home care, complementary therapies, bereavement care and family support free of charge to children and adults.
It serves the communities of Teesside, County Durham, North Yorkshire and Wearside.
Those taking part will help ensure that all children who are not expected to reach adulthood and their families have the care and support they need.
