About Virtual Saltford Santa Dash 2020

Virtual Saltford Santa Dash 2020

The Saltford Santa Dash was established in 2013 to provide a community fun run and raise funds in support of locally connected charities working with young people. Since then, the event has grown and become a firm favourite with the local community in the run-up to Christmas

For this year only, the 2020 Saltford Santa Dash will take place as a virtual event, inviting participants to run either our 5k or 5-mile route around the local area (or a route of their choice) anytime between Saturday 5th and Saturday 19th December.

It will be a little different – there won’t be Santa’s on-masse but keep your eye out for plenty of Santa’s running around the streets of Saltford in December, and don’t forget to cheer them on! It’s all for a great cause.

Jessie May

Started by a family, for families, and now shaped by families

Jessie May is a Bristol-based charity providing nursing care at home for children and young people with life limiting conditions who are not expected to live beyond the age of 19. Jessie May was established in September 1994 by Chris and Philippa Purrington, following the death of their baby daughter Jessica May. She died from a genetic condition known as severe Spinal Muscular Atrophy when she was only 4½ months old.

Whilst the family were visiting relatives in Bristol, Jessica was admitted to the local hospital. It was here that the family learnt that the support they had received back at home in High Wycombe was not available to families caring for their child at home in the Bristol area. Jessica was cared for by her family at home throughout her illness. She died peacefully at home in her father’s arms, in privacy, with dignity and surrounded by all those who loved her.

Jessica’s parents were determined to do what they could to enable other children with conditions like Jessica’s and their families to have support in their own homes and the choice to die at home when that time comes. After a lot of hard work and perseverance initial funding was secured, and Jessie May was officially launched in 1996.
