Techcare is proud to announce their annual marathon walk across the scenic Cannock Chase, a thrilling overnight event aimed at raising funds for Birmingham Children's Hospital. Following the success of last year's walk, which raised over £1,000 for the South Staffordshire Network for Mental Health, the Techcare team is stepping up their game with an exciting twist.

 

This year, Techcare will feature two teams embarking on the challenging circular route in opposite directions. One team will navigate the trail clockwise, while the other tackles it anticlockwise, adding an extra layer of competition to the challenge. Both teams will race through the picturesque landscape of Cannock Chase, battling the elements and the darkness, all in the name of charity.

 

"We are incredibly excited to take on this challenge again, especially with the added competition between the two teams," said Oliver Aleksejuk, Managing Director at Techcare. "Our goal is not only to raise funds for Birmingham Children's Hospital but also to bring our team closer together and promote the spirit of giving back to the community."

 

Birmingham Children's Hospital, renowned for its exceptional care and support for children and their families, will be the beneficiary of this year's efforts. The funds raised will contribute to essential medical equipment, patient care programs, and research initiatives, ensuring that the hospital continues to provide world-class treatment to its young patients.

 

Last year's event was a testament to the resilience and dedication of the Techcare team. Walking through the night across the challenging terrain of Cannock Chase, the team demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact on mental health services. This year's walk promises to be even more ambitious, with the friendly rivalry between the two teams driving them to push their limits. Last year’s team completed the challenge in approximately 10 hours; let’s see what this year’s teams can do!

 

Techcare invites the community, friends, and family to support their cause by donating to their challenge. Every contribution, big or small, will make a significant difference in the lives of the children and families served by Birmingham Children's Hospital.
