Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Firstly, a little bit about the charity that we're doing this for:
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 we're doing:
The challenge is on for teams of four (three in our case) to trek a monster
50 miles in under 24 hours along the stunning Pennine
Way. Funds raised on the challenge will help improve
children’s healthcare through the excellent work of
MedEquip4Kids.
The challenge starts with a check-in on the evening of
Friday 22 June in Littleborough, Lancashire. Teams then
start from 7am the following morning. The challenge
finishes with a well-deserved breakfast!
