In memory of Sue Parry

In 1999, the family and friends of Sue Parry came together to honour her memory and express their gratitude for the exceptional care she received at St Michael’s Hospice. What started as a heartfelt tribute has grown into a remarkable fundraising journey, with events ranging from auctions and karaoke nights to a sponsored tandem bike ride—all dedicated to supporting the hospice.

At the heart of this legacy is the Sue Parry Six-a-Side Football Tournament—a perfect tribute to Sue’s love for football. Over the years, it has become a highly anticipated fixture on Hereford’s sporting calendar, bringing communities together for a day of sport, fun, and fundraising.

Since 2000, the Sue Parry Appeal has raised over £140,000, with every penny going directly to St Michael’s Hospice. By taking part in or supporting today’s event, you’re helping us continue this incredible legacy.

Thank you for making a difference!

The Sue Parry Fundraising Committee and St Michael’s Hospice are beyond grateful for your unwavering support.

All participants & ticket holders get FREE entry!
