Walk, Run or Jog 100KM In April!
DataSolutions is inviting our vendors, channel partners and everyone else we work with to take part in our 100KM in April challenge to raise much needed funds for Keech Hospice Care. It doesn’t matter whether you run, jog or walk it; all you need to do is cover the distance.
Did you know it takes £6 million every year (over £17,000 every day) to provide Keech Hospice Care their specialist care for adults, children, and loved ones. As a charity, Keech Hospice Care relies on their supporters for around 70% of their funding. At DataSolutions, we see first-hand how Keech Hospice Care is making a difference in so many people's lives.
Paul Harris, Senior Business Development Manager at DataSolutions, and his family receive the specialist care and support they need for their five-year-old daughter Thea. Thea was born with a rare genetic disorder called Alagille syndrome. The Keech team goes above and beyond to accommodate Thea’s needs, as well as the needs of his family.
We welcome and encourage everyone to get on board and join DataSolutions in our 100KM in April challenge.

100% of Proceeds Raised will be Donated to Keech Hospice Care
Keech Hospice Care is a hospice in Luton, England. Keech provides care specifically for terminally ill children in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes, but also focuses on older terminally ill patients in Luton and South Bedfordshire. It has been commended for its work by the Telegraph and has also seen notable fund raising events in the past.
Their care supports adults and children to live pain and symptom free, to spend untroubled time with their family and friends, to understand what’s happening to them, to stay out of hospital and to make the most of the time they have. We’re proud to highlight they are rated outstanding for their care services by the Care Quality Commission.
All proceeds will be donated to Keech Hospice Care. Registered Charity No.:1035089

Can I walk the 100KM, instead of running?
You can run, jog, cycle, swim, walk, or even dance if you want to! The end goal is simply to achieve 100KM in the month of April, and of course raise money for a worthy cause. It’s completely up to you how fast you go, how quickly you do it and what routes you take.
