What will your money do?

MedEquip4Kids works with medical staff, community nurses and other registered charities to provide equipment and improve facilities in hospitals. Their policy is to fund items known to improve the care provided to children, but not readily available within the NHS' limited budgets.

Increasingly, the larger hospitals employ fundraisers to secure extra funds the NHS cannot provide, but smaller hospitals and community teams do not have access to a fundraising officer. It is common to find nurses and paramedics fundraising in their spare time and during their working day.

MedEquip4Kids believe these staff should be focusing on caring for children and the charity's aim is to fundraise on their behalf. The money raised is spent directly on the items they request and no money is passed on to any third party.

What are we going to do for your cash?

Trek50 challenges teams of four to trek a monster 50 miles in under 24 hours around the Pennines on the Lancashire and Yorkshire border. We will trek on some fantastic trails including The Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway through some spectacular scenery. We will also achieve a height gain equivalent to that of climbing Snowdon and Ben Nevis as we trek around the circular route.Trek50 is a tough challenge that will without doubt test us as a team to the limit both physically and mentally.

Our team consists of Terry, Andy, Pat and Tony, four novice ramblers who should have known better when they signed up for what will be a tough test of endurance. Please help us to achieve our target as every pound helps our charity provide the much needed services it provides.
