TORO TEAM TACKLES TOUGH TERRAIN!

On Saturday 11th October, a determined team of eight from Toro U.K. Limited laced up their walking boots and took on a 13.4-mile coastal walk around Mersea Island in Essex - all in support of St Clare Hospice, the company’s chosen charity of the year.

Internally dubbed 'Team Toro - Miles around Mersea', the challenge saw the group navigate the island’s scenic but demanding shoreline route.

This was no ordinary weekend walk. With an 8-mile stretch offering no facilities and the tide steadily advancing, the team had to carefully plan their timing to avoid being caught out by the sea. It was a true test of endurance, teamwork, and timing - and Toro say their team rose to the challenge.

Despite sandy socks and aching legs, spirits remained high throughout. Among the light-hearted moments shared along the way were calls of “Are we nearly there yet?” and “Remind me to stop Strava before I collapse!”

Thanks to the generous support of colleagues, friends, and family, the team has raised £940 towards their £1,000 fundraising goal. Every donation helps St Clare Hospice continue its incredible work supporting patients and families in the local community.
