After raising almost 10k over our previous years for the amazing Pied Piper Appeal, we have decided to embark on our biggest ever mission. To raise 10k in just one event. For 2 brilliant causes.

THE 100K DAY

A cross country, multi terrain challenge to complete a route approximately 100km long in just 24 gruelling hours!

The team will set off from Titan Performance in Kingsholm Midday on June 3rd.

Travelling as fast as their bodies will take them as they head as far afield as Nympsfield. Crossing fields, streams, beacons and more before returning to the start point 24 hours, and 100km later.

The route itself includes challenging elevations from the outset with Painswick being encountered within just a couple of hours of the starting line.

The team will have to hold a formidable pace throughout woodlands sections to stand a chance of making it back in time.

All while carrying everything they need on their backs to sustain them for the entire challenge.

Learn about why our team are undertaking this monumental challenge below:

Emily’s Gift is an Appeal, under the umbrella of The Pied Piper Appeal that was launched on March 10th 2023, founded by Julie Kent MBE. Their mission is to raise £500,000 by 10 March 2024 to fund the employment of a psychologist for 10 years to ensure all children and their families receive psychological support while their child has cancer treatment at the Emily Kent Unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and when they are in remission.

The Pied Piper Appeal was founded in 1992 by local hairdresser Peter Hickman and £4 million was pledged to build a new Children's Centre at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The money was quickly raised with the centre opening in 2004.

Since then, The Pied Piper Appeal have continued to fund the Children's Centre along with supporting SEND Schools with equipment and resources, Sending children with life-limiting illnesses and their families on memory making Wish Holidays, and improving children's experience with Mental Health facilities.

Here are the names of the team members: Serjey Maksimov, James Mathieson, Joel Stevens, Joe Langbridge, Ben Caton, Stuart Fleetwood, Julia Frearson, Jo Barnard, Darren Dawidiuk, Archie Fox, Charlie Huckson, Jason Wood, Marc Weatherall & Oscar Weatherall.
