b. Each Participant must complete and submit an entry form (“Entry Form”) whether participating as an individual or in a team.

c. Sponsor forms will be posted to participants if requested, and an online fundraising page can be set up using this link: Justgiving.com/isabelhospice

d. All funds raised for IH’s work shall be held on trust by each Participant for IH and paid to IH as soon as reasonably possible.

4. Health and fitness

a. All Participants take part in the Event at their own risk.

b.
