Riding for a Cause: Toddsleap Enduropark Charity Event Raises Over £9000 for Air Ambulance NI
At Toddsleap, our love for adventure extends beyond the thrill of off-road pursuits—it's about making a positive impact on our community. This sentiment took the forefront with our recent Toddsleap Enduropark Charity Event, where adrenaline and altruism collided for a worthy cause. All proceeds from this heart-pounding day were dedicated to supporting Air Ambulance NI, an organization close to our hearts.
Niall's Reflection: A Moment on the Mountain
Niall, an avid off-road Enduro rider, has conquered extreme terrains across Ireland and embarked on adventurous tours through rugged landscapes. One day, amidst the challenges of a mountain trail, a crucial question struck him: "Who is coming to find and help me if something were to happen in the case of an emergency?"
The answer was clear—Air Ambulance NI. Having witnessed their life-saving efforts firsthand in a family member's farm accident, Niall was inspired to give back to those who are our lifeline in extreme times of need.
From Idea to Action: The Birth of the Charity Event
After discussions during office meetings and tea breaks, Niall and the team decided to turn their conversations into action. The idea of a charity event took shape, aimed at raising funds for Air Ambulance NI. Why not bring friends and fellow competitors together for a day of fun, all while supporting a vital cause?

The Grand Finale: Over £9000 Raised
Thanks to the generosity of participants, sponsors, and the community, the Toddsleap team successfully raised over £9000 during the charity event. This impressive sum was presented to Damien McAnespie of Air Ambulance NI, a moment that underscored the tangible impact of our collective efforts.
A Personal Encounter: Meeting the Heroes of the Sky
