• Welcome to Deepbridge Challenge 2020
    Chester to New York Relay

    Throughout June 2020, the Deepbridge team will be collectively walking the distance from Chester to New York, totalling 3314 miles, with the aim to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK and Hospice Of The Good Shepherd.

The Challenge

Traditionally, the Deepbridge team has set ourselves a yearly challenge, with the aim of getting the whole team together for one day and raising as much money as possible for a chosen charity. Despite the current Coronavirus situation, meaning we are unable to all get together, we feel it’s important to honour our tradition of supporting a charity which really needs it, especially during this tough period.

This is why, throughout the month of June, we are committing ourselves to collectively walking, jogging or running the distance between Chester (Deepbridge HQ) to New York, totalling 3314 miles.

While we might not be physically doing  our challenge together this year, we are very much doing this with a strong and united team mentality.

Our Chosen Charities

The Hospice of Good Shepherd believe that everyone deserves the best quality of life and the best quality end of life care and the earlier they are involved in this care the better. They deliver their care free of charge, for the communities of Cheshire West, Chester, Ellesmere Port and Deeside.
