On Friday 5th June at 6pm, Batch Bottlestore’s amazing running club will begin a 24-hour challenge running backwards and forwards over Moss Lane Bridge near Tesco in Altrincham.

Their goal? To cover the equivalent elevation of climbing Mount Everest – at least once, maybe even more!

They’re taking on this challenge to raise much-needed funds for Trafford Carers Centre in memory of the wonderful Jim Edward Parsons.

A couple of years ago, as a running club, they chose to support Trafford Carers because of a personal connection within the Batch family. Bards, owner of Batch Bottlestore, saw first-hand the incredible support Trafford Carers gave his mum Kirsty while she cared full-time for his stepdad Jim. Their help made a huge difference during an incredibly difficult time and ensured Kirsty never felt alone in her role as a carer.

Sadly, in December, Jim passed away.

To honour his memory, their running club wanted to do something special – so they’ll be taking on “Tesco Hill” for 24 hours straight, with runners completing as many laps as they can while raising money for this amazing charity.

They’d absolutely love for you to join them at any point during the 24 hours – whether that’s for one lap, two laps, or 100! And if running isn’t your thing, they’d still love your support as volunteers, cheerleaders, or supporters along the route.

This charity is incredibly close to their hearts, and Jim will always remain at the centre of why they continue supporting Trafford Carers.
