Story
This year we've challenged ourselves to raise £25,000 for The Children's Hospital Charity's Building a Better Future Appeal and we couldn't be more excited about it! After supporting the charity in previous years through fundraising days and annually sponsoring one of the charity's iconic snowflakes at Christmas, we wanted to take it up another Tier and commit to a bigger goal. The money that you help us raise will contribute to redeveloping the Emergency Department, Cancer, and Leukaemia ward and a brand new helipad!
We’re taking the challenge in our stride and getting involved in as much as possible to try and raise our total. Currently, our planned events in calendar order are:
- Golden Hour Litter Pick - 1st March - helping the local community and the environment by tidying up around our office at Acres Hill Lane, Parkway Drive. DONE!
- The Sheffield Half Marathon - 14th April - support us conquer one of the hilliest half marathons in the UK! DONE!
- Yorkshire Three Peaks - 21st April - Richard and his wife Catherine will be tackling Yorkshire's tallest peaks, Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, in 12 hours. DONE!
- The National Three Peaks Challenge - 14th/15th June - because one mountain isn't enough! We’ll be conquering Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon in 24 hours! DONE!
- Theo's Obstacle 5k - 13th July - Nathan and his daughter Ellie will be running, crawling and jumping over 10 obstacles over a 5k route to help raise money for the hospital. DONE!
- Outlaw Nottingham Triathlon - 28th July - showing us all how it's done, Wayne will be completing a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and finishing with a 26.2 mile run! All in a day's work, ay boss! DONE!
- Helvellyn Triathlon - 1st September - Helvellyn is one of the toughest triathlons in the world but Jon won't shy away from the challenge! Helvellyn includes a 1 mile swim in the Ullswater, 38 mile bike ride (including the infamous "Struggle") and a 9 mile fell run on the highest fells in the country! DONE!
- Skydive - 14th September - taking the challenge to new heights, Holly and Christina will be taking a leap of faith and skydiving from 15,000 ft - the highest you can skydive in the UK! DONE!
- And more to come!
Thank you for your support - it's not just about meeting our target, it's about raising vital funds to support our children's hospital and making sure their services remain at the forefront of paediatric care.
