The unique event invites individuals, families and friends to lace up their walking shoes, bring along their favourite teddy bear, and join in on a day filled with fun, teddies, and community spirit - all whilst raising money for Scotland’s busiest children’s hospital.

Participants can choose between a 5K or 10K walk through the scenic routes of Glasgow City Centre. Starting from the Riverside Museum at 10am on 14th September, the walk with Kami Bear offers a chance to explore Glasgow’s beautiful surroundings, raise money for a good cause, all while being accompanied by a hug of teddies. Opportunities to purchase bear wear during the walk, including a range of knitted bear ears and mitts will also be available, along with a Kami Bear teddy.

Both walking routes are fully accessible, and the trail is intended for people of all ages and abilities. Registration is £10 for adults, with all children aged 16 and under can join for free.  

On Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th August, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity will be visiting Buchanan Galleries to host a promotional event for Kami Bear’s Teddy Trail.

Visitors to the centre during the weekend can register for the charity walk and find out more about Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and its vital work supporting brave young patients at Scotland’s largest children’s hospital. Kami Bear will also be making an appearance on Saturday 24th, for photo opportunities.

Participants in Kami Bear’s Teddy Trail will also be able to collect their trail pack at Buchanan Galleries, which includes additional information about the sponsored walk, and what to expect.

Funds raised from Kami Bear’s Teddy Trail will directly support The Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, providing life-changing projects, services, and medical equipment for children with serious illnesses and their families. For over 20 years, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity has tirelessly supported young patients, their families and the NHS heroes who care for them with donations from the public.

Participants can register for Kami Bear’s Teddy Trail at Buchanan Galleries on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th August. For more information, visit: https://buchanangalleries.co.uk/ or https://www.glasgowchildrenshospitalcharity.org/
