Teckentrup sponsors The Long Run For Little Heroes!
Taking place from the 3rd – 6th June 2026, a team of 10 runners is undertaking an incredible feat of endurance to raise money for two children’s charities. In just four days, the team of family, friends and colleagues will run from Wigan to Paris – 550 miles!
Teckentrup is delighted to sponsor this very worthy cause. The team stopped by our Warrington facility to show us their support van for the challenge. Please consider donating, this can be done via the teams' JustGiving page. The team is almost halfway to their ÂŁ10,000 goal - https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/lee-hogg-1?utm_medium=CF&utm_source=CL
Alongside raising money, the team hopes to raise awareness of the tireless work of both charities undertake to change the lives of children and young people in the local area…
Wigan Youth Zone:
Wigan Youth Zone provides a safe and supportive environment for young people ages 8 to 19. Helping to build confidence and develop skills, the centre provides invaluable opportunities for young people to get together, make new friends and feel part of a community. The impact the centre is making is astonishing – 80% of members feel happier about their lives with 86.5% feeling more self confident.
Alder Hey Children’s Charity:
Alder Hey Children’s Charity raises vital funds for Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Healthcare Campus which treats 450,000 children and young people every year. Ensuring every child has the life-saving medical equipment and facilities they need, Alder Hey Children’s Charity truly makes a difference every day. Every child also gets to experience Alder Hey Magic, which is devoted to making hospital life for families brighter.
Everyone at Teckentrup wishes the team the best of luck!
