MWE Takes on the Bath Ultra Challenge for Julia’s House
We’re incredibly proud to share the results of our recent fundraising efforts for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice, as four members of the Medical Wire & Equipment team laced up their running shoes and tackled the scenic and demanding Bath Ultra Challenge on 29th March 2025.
Taking place on a sunny weekend in the South West, the Ultra Challenge offered a variety of routes winding through the rolling hills and historic sights surrounding Bath. Team MWE took on two distances—with our Chairman Andrew Broggio and his wife, Hannah Broggio, completing the 10K route, while Amanda Nash (Regulatory Assurance Manager) and Caroline Hannay (Production Planning Manager) powered through the tougher 29K course.
Their efforts were all in aid of a very special cause: Julia’s House, a charity that provides essential care and support to children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families, both at home and in their hospices.
The Challenge
The Bath Ultra Challenge is part of the UK Ultra Challenge Series, designed for walkers, joggers, and runners of all levels to push their limits for a good cause. Participants can choose distances ranging from 10K to a full 50K Ultra Marathon. This year’s route showcased the beauty of the Cotswold countryside with plenty of hills, fields, and breathtaking views.
For our team, it was a mix of physical stamina and emotional motivation. Together, they clocked up a combined 78 kilometres, driven by the desire to support a local charity close to our hearts.
Fundraising Success
Thanks to the generous support of friends, family, colleagues, and supporters, we are thrilled to report that we raised £235 for Julia’s House!
This total is a reflection of the team’s determination and the community’s generosity. Every donation, no matter how small, added up to something truly meaningful.
Where the Money Goes
Julia’s House relies on public donations for over 90% of its funding. The money we’ve raised will go toward providing critical services such as:
-
Respite care for families needing a much-needed break
-
Emergency support for children and their loved ones
-
Therapies and play sessions that bring joy and comfort
-
Support for siblings and bereavement counselling
-
At-home care visits by specialist nurses and carers
Every pound makes a real difference in improving the quality of life for children with complex needs and ensuring their families are never alone on their journey.
Thank You
A massive thank you to everyone who supported our team—whether you donated, shared our fundraiser, or simply sent words of encouragement. And of course, a heartfelt well done to Andrew, Hannah, Amanda, and Caroline for stepping up to the challenge in support of such a worthwhile cause.
At MWE, we’re proud to be part of a community that cares. Supporting Julia’s House through the Bath Ultra Challenge has been an unforgettable experience—and we’re already thinking about our next adventure!
