Sponsors

Every pair of Supershoes is funded by donations from kind sponsors, who come in all shapes and sizes…..

From parents of previous recipients who want to ‘pay forward’ the gift of Supershoes, to fundarisers who have organised an event of some description in order to make a donation. We receive one-off payments from some and regular sponsorship from others. Some want to remain anonymous, whilst others are happy to share their donation and/or story.

Here are some of those we are able to share with you.

Sponsor - C H Transport (Yorkshire) Ltd

C H Transport (Yorkshire) Ltd

Our generous sponsors sometimes come from more obvious sources! CH Transport (Yorkshire) became aware of Supershoes whilst delivering to us! And why not? This family business, headed up by Garry and Sue, delivers a variety of goods all over the UK, and we’re so glad they came our way too. Thank you both so much. We’re glad to have inspired you!

Sponsor - Cairon Pearson

Cairon Pearson

One hundred and seven kilometers! Yes, you read that correctly! Cairon completed this ultra-marathon run in memory of his Dad, who passed away from cancer in 2020. Cairon chose Supershoes as one of three charities he wanted to support, because his Dad was a great supporter of young people. Thank you so much Cairon; your Superhuman effort has created smiles for 22 poorly children and young people! We hope you will be putting your poor, tired feet up for a while, as this 18.5 hour challenge with 6000 feet of elevation must have been gruelling, to say the least. Here at Supershoes HQ, we’re all exhausted just thinking about it. Well done and thank you hardly seems to cover this triumph.

Sponsor - Chris, Michael and Gareth

Chris, Michael and Gareth

Three hardy (foolhardy?) souls took part in the 2024 Sywell Sprint Triathlon, which sounds like a lot of hard training and a massive effort on the day! Chris, Michael and Gareth chose to raise money for Supershoes, because Chris’ son Aaron was supported by us four years ago, when he received his own pair of Supershoes. Chris was delighted to complete the gruelling course in 1 hour 51 minutes, which sounds like a huge effort on his part. The amount these three brave guys raised will fund 39 pairs of shoes, and we were thrilled to hear how successful they’ve been with their fundraising! A huge well done to the three of you, and many thanks for all the smiles you’re about to make!

Sponsor - Colin and Sue Woodhouse

Colin and Sue Woodhouse

A bitter-sweet story behind these lovely sponsors: Colin met Sue when she was a Paediatric Clinical Oncology Nurse Specialist, working on the ward where his son was being treated for ALL. Very sadly, Colin’s son died after a relapse. Sue and Colin stayed in touch, and eventually got married. Sue has been friends with Jeanette, who was also a nurse in the same field, and is now one of our Super Trustees, as well as a sponsor and Super Artist, so she came to know more about Supershoes when Jeanette joined our team. Both couples are firm friends, and everyone has a keen interest in childhood cancer matters. They all decided to move away from giving gifts at Christmas and donating to charity instead, and they all decided that Supershoes was a perfect fit for their idea! What a lovely idea to give something that has so much meaning to you all. Thank you, Colin and Sue for supporting us and bringing more smiles to Super brave kids!
