We're a team of business owners and we're pushing a hospital bed 100 miles for Brian House
They’ve set themselves a fundraising target of £100,000.
A team of Lancashire business owners is preparing to take on a unique fundraising challenge next month in support of local hospice care.
From 6 July, the group, known as the Trinity Push Force, will push a replica hospital bed more than 100 miles across the county while dressed as superheroes. The challenge aims to raise £100,000 for Trinity Hospice and Brian House Children’s Hospice.
The event is being led by Sean Lynden, Director of Blackpool Industrial Roofing, who has already raised more than £300,000 for the hospice through previous endurance challenges, including trekking Mont Blanc and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
To withstand the demanding route, local tradesmen helped design and build a heavy-duty, all-terrain replica hospital bed after it was determined that a real medical bed would not survive the journey.
The team will tackle the entire route, including steep climbs around Burnley, Blackburn and Bolton, hoping to raise funds and awareness for the hospices.
