Teleflex employees join forces for the Wings for Life World Run 2024: Running for those who can’t

The EMEA Urology team, in collaboration with the global JOIN initiative, seized the opportunity to give back to local communities and improve people’s health and quality of life. All participants, from amateurs to elite athletes, shared a common goal: to support spinal cord injury research by donating 100% of the global entry fees.

Our motivation for participating in the Wings for Life World Run
Teleflex employees, deeply committed to making a difference, enthusiastically participated in the event. Teleflex runners from 11 countries, including the Teleflex EMEA Urology team, took part and supported the Foundation’s aims. By participating, they not only raised awareness, but also made a significant contribution to a good cause: 2024, the Wings for Life Foundation has raised 8,100,000 million euros in entry fees and donations worldwide.

The Wings for Life World Run has a special significance for Teleflex. As a global provider of medical technologies such as intermittent catheters, which are vital to many people with spinal cord injuries, supporting spinal cord research is not just a cause: it’s a mission.
