Story
The concept is simple, though it's by no means a small feat. On the 28th August 2023 from 10am onwards, teams of 20 people will gather at European Aviation, Bournemouth Airport, to pull a Boeing 737 weighing in at 35,000 kg a distance of 50 metres to raise money for charity. At E-Motion Fitness Hub, we'd be raising funds for our much-loved charity partner, MYTIME Young Carers, an amazing Dorset-based children's charity that works to level the playing field for young carers aged 5-25.
Meet Sadie. Sadie’s mum has multiple sclerosis, and Sadie has been caring for her since she was just 5 years old. Sadie does a lot to help her mum, but it’s not easy. She’s often exhausted, she finds it difficult to keep up with schoolwork and she worries about the future. Most of all, Sadie feels alone, even though there are an estimated 700,000 young carers in the UK today. MYTIME exists to level the playing field for young carers like Sadie, by providing them with the support, opportunities and friendship that every child needs and deserves.
