Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a hospice superhero! Join #TeamEV

Starting this summer a brand new team of superheroes will begin to sweep across North Cumbria, each of them raising money for Eden Valley Hospice.

Unlike Superman, Spiderman and Catwoman, Team EV superheroes do not need to possess superhuman powers. All that they have to do is raise money and support their local hospice.

Throughout 2013, Eden Valley Hospice will be hosting a variety of challenge and sporting events, from a cycle ride to skydives, giving the local community the perfect opportunity to become a Team EV superhero. Every fundraiser who undertakes their very own challenge in aid of the Hospice will receive an exclusive running vest or t-shirt emblazoned with the Team EV logo to wear at their chosen event.

Katrina Sander, Community and Events Fundraising Manager, said “After being inspired by the success of Team GB at last year’s Olympic Games, Eden Valley Hospice is proud to launch Team EV. The group will unite and support all of the fundraising superheroes who take on a sporting challenge in aid of the Hospice and the exclusive vest and t-shirts will make our superheroes stand out at their event.”

If Eden Valley Hospice does not have an event for you in 2013, the Hospice is encouraging people to take on their own sporting or challenge event. Whether it is a half marathon run or a fundraising walk in the Lake District, everybody has the potential to become a Team EV fundraising superhero.
