Solus sponsors Birmingham charity walkathon

We are happy to sponsor this year’s Birmingham Walkathon which will take place on the 11th of September. Back after a 9-year hiatus, the event is led by Help Harry Help Others (HHHO), a charity started by Harry Moseley, from Sheldon.

Harry passed away, aged 11, after being diagnosed with a brain tumour, but not before raising thousands of pounds for Cancer Research UK. His story continues to inspire the people of Birmingham and his mum, Georgie, has successfully campaigned for the relaunch of the Walkathon.

The Walkathon is open to anyone, and, according to ability or inclination, you can choose to complete a lap of a participating park or do the full 26-mile circuit along the old no.11 bus route.

Funds are being raised for five charities which will be disbursed by HHHO. Those charities are HHHO, NSPCC Birmingham, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid, and Birmingham Mind.

You can enter as a team or as an individual; businesses, schools, and institutions are encouraged to enter. Fancy dress has historically been popular, so fetch out the dress-up box!

Solus Managing Director, Ryan Bennett, says, “As a Midlands company, we’re delighted to support this fantastic event. We will have stands at the event and members of our team will be helping to marshal the walkers. Many of us will be participating, so do come and say hello.”

We are pleased to be raising money for charities that benefit the community we’re proud to call home. We hope you feel the same way. Visit brumwalkathon.com for details on how to join in.
