Wheel 17.82 miles in a wheelchair throughout March. \nHow can I fundraise?\nPlease join our Facebook group and complete your registration form. This form will let you set up a Facebook fundraising page\, or you can choose to set this up at a later date.\nIf you don’t use Facebook\, please create a JustGiving page and let us know you are taking part. \nI’ve created my fundraising page – how long until I get my t-shirt?\nWe endeavor to post all t-shirt packs within 14 days of your page being set up.

It ensures that your assets are given to the people and causes you want them to go to\, and will avoid difficult decisions and legal complications in the future.\n \nEven if you have a Will already\, it’s easy for it to become out of date because of a change in circumstances. Therefore\, you should regularly review your Will so that it reflects your current situation and wishes.\nThe thought of making a Will may seem daunting\, but in reality it can be simple and straightforward. RUHX has partnered with a number of local solicitors who have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the process. They will professionally write or update your Will at a reduced fee\, to make it more affordable\n \n100% of your fee will go to RUHX to help us support extra extraordinary healthcare in Bath and beyond.\n \n£195 Standard Will £295 Standard Double Will*\n*This offer is for a basic Will and if your requirements are more specialist or complex then the solicitor can advise you of any additional costs before you proceed.\n \nLeaving a legacy to be proud of is easier than you think\n \nIf you are considering leaving a gift in your Will to RUHX\, we wish to thank you. Your legacy will be life changing\, supporting the people who really need it in the future. Your solicitor will be able to advise you on tax effectiveness of charitable gifts bequeathed in your Will.\n \nTake part in RUH Will Month\n\nChoose a solicitor – call a legal firm from the list below and make an appointment quoting RUH Will Month.\nTurn your wishes into a Will – the solicitor will discuss your requirements and draft your Will.\n\n \nParticipating Solicitors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmes Kent SolicitorsFrome: 01373 462017law@ames-kent.co.ukames-kent.co.uk\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \nBLB SolicitorsBath: 01225 462871Trowbridge: 01225 755656Bradford on Avon: 01225 866541enquiries@blbsolicitors.co.ukblbsolicitors.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \nFDC Law Solicitors Frome: 01373 463311Midsomer Norton: 01761 417575norton@fdc-law.co.ukKeynsham: 0117 986 9141keynsham@fdc-law.co.ukfdc-law.co.uk\n\n \n \nHelen Starkie SolicitorBath: 01225 442353jw@helenstarkie.co.ukhelenstarkie.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \nMogers DrewettBath: 01225 750000Wells: 01749 342323Frome: 0800 5335349enquiries@mogersdrewett.commogersdrewett.com\n\n \n \nNew Wave Law Bath: 07961243333kirsty@newwavelaw.co.uk newwavelaw.co.uk\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \nRWK GoodmanBath: 01225 730100pc.enquiries@rwkgoodman.comrwkgoodman.com\n \n \nWards SolicitorsKeynsham: 0117 9863504Ruth.Coles@wards.uk.comwards.uk.com\n\n\n \n \nFor any queries regarding Will Month please contact our team at giftinwills@ruhx.org.uk or call 01225 825819  URL:https://ruhx.org.uk/events/will-month/ LOCATION:RUH Will Month\, Royal United Hospital\, Bath\, BA1 3NG ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ruhx.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Small_Will-Month-Mother-Son.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="RUHX":MAILTO:fundraising@ruhx.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230906 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230911 DTSTAMP:20260404T062134 CREATED:20230106T105743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230106T132112Z UID:1787-1693958400-1694390399@ruhx.org.uk SUMMARY:The Alps Trek DESCRIPTION:Experience 3 countries in 3 days with this breathtaking Alps Trek\nFrom waterfalls running down glaciers to stunning clifftop views\, this incredible Alps trek will not disappoint. \nCovering 46km through France\, Italy and Switzerland\, you will fully immerse yourself in what the Mont Blanc region of the Alps has to offer\, all with expert guidance from the European Challenge team. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nOnly five days in total\, this challenge is ideal for those with less time to take away from home – there is nothing stopping you from joining in this trip of a lifetime! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to book\nThere are two fundraising options available.

Will you take the leap?\nBook your boarding pass for a once in a lifetime experience. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie\, conquering a fear\, or celebrating a milestone\, get ready for the thrill of completing a charity tandem skydive for RUHX. Tick off the ultimate bucket list item with #TeamRUHX in support of health\, happiness and wellbeing for everyone in Bath and beyond. \nWe’ve partnered with the friendly team at Netheravon Airfield\, the home of the Army Parachute Association.

Board your plane and when it’s time to jump\, you’ll be strapped securely to your tandem instructor before you exit the aircraft at 13\,000ft. Experience an exhilarating freefall of over 40 seconds before your instructor deploys the main parachute and together you steer your way back to the drop zone for a gentle\, controlled landing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to book\nThere are two fundraising options available.
