At Technical Drive, We Are Proud to Support SMA UK in their 40th Anniversary 40 For 40 Challenge!

This year, SMA UK aims to raise £40,000 to fund invaluable resources for those affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).

As part of this incredible effort, we are excited to announce our participation in a unique and adventurous fundraising event. On Saturday, 7th June, our team will embark on a 20km walk and a 20km canoeing trip down the beautiful River Severn, starting from Bewdley and finishing in Bridgnorth.

SMA is a genetic condition that affects motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. SMA UK’s mission is to support individuals and families affected by this condition, providing essential resources, advocacy and research funding.

By participating in the 40 for 40 Challenge, we hope to make a significant impact and help SMA UK continue their vital work.

We kindly ask for your support in sponsoring our challenge. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to SMA UK’s goal of raising £40,000. Your generosity will directly contribute to the resources and support that SMA UK provides to those in need. Donating is simple and secure.

You can visit our fundraising page to make a contribution.

If you’re nearby, cheer us on along the route or meet us at the finish line in Bridgnorth. Follow our journey on social media for updates and photos.

UK providers charge a fixed monthly fee for these core services. On-site visits, out-of-hours cover, project work, hardware, software licences and advanced cyber security are often excluded or charged as extras. Picture three quotes on your desk.
