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 specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
