The Bank Holiday weekend got off to a fantastic start for thirty of our supporters on Saturday.

They helped raise over £3,000 for MedEquip4Kids when they were among 5,000 participants who went Gung-Ho! in Heaton Park and conquered a unique inflatable 5K fun run, with ten of the greatest inflatable obstacles ever designed.

Rain, hail and wind didn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm and determination to have as much fun as possible and complete the course to claim their very own Gung-Ho! t-shirt and headband. The finale, Europe’s biggest ever inflatable slide – the ‘Thriller’, never failed to make everyone scream with laughter on the way down.
Taking part and completing the course was just the start of the event day.  Music, delicious food and drink, and plenty of opportunities to take action shots, all provided a fun filled festival atmosphere throughout the day for spectators and competitors alike.

Thank you to everyone who took part and supported their friends and families in Manchester’s first ever Gung-Ho!

Roll on next year!

“The new outdoor area will boost mood and morale, creating social opportunities in a safe space free from medical interventions and providing distraction from pain and illness. It offers play opportunities for siblings too, helping to normalise the hospital environment and bridge the gap between home and hospital.”
