Our corporate partner Falkirk FC is continuing support for the hospice by launching another innovative concept with MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd, John Mitchell Haulage and the Howgate Shopping Centre, to support our team of Morocco trekkers.
Next month, a group of intrepid fundraisers will be taking part in a trek across the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to raise funds for the hospice. The High Atlas Mountains are situated in the North-West corner of Africa, just south of Marrakech, where the team will begin their adventure. They will journey through valleys, up to high villages made predominantly out of mud brick, and ultimately ascend up to the summit of Mount Toubkal – North Africa’s highest peak at 4167m!
Over the next coming weeks, visitors to the Howgate will see a life-size John Mitchell Haulage MAN Truck in place. Those wishing to support the Morocco fundraisers are encouraged to make a donation and write their own ‘Message to Morocco’ at the Strathcarron Hospice shop located in the Howgate Centre. Over the next few weeks, all the messages will be collated and pinned to the truck before they’re taken to Morocco with the team completing the trek.
Kieran Koszary, Falkirk FC Commercial Manager said: “We are always looking for innovative ways to support all our partners and this is yet another example of this. Every Falkirk Bairn recognises the fantastic work Strathcarron do in the community and we are delighted to be working with our partners at MAN Trucks, John Mitchell Haulage and the Howgate to support the team making this trek and to raise funds for the Hospice.”
Gillian Niven of Drummond Laurie said: “In 6 weeks this will become a reality! We have been training hard for our challenge which will see us camping in the mountains for 6 days. Our fundraising is going well and we really appreciate the support from Falkirk FC, John Mitchell Haulage, MAN Trucks and the Howgate. Any messages donated will be taken to Morocco with us.”
