TILE RETAILER TO RUN 300KM IN 30 DAYS FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Gavin Spencer and Head Buyer Anna Forden head up the running team.

To mark 30 years in business, tile retailer Walls and Floors has set themselves a special challenge of running 300km in 30 days to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

Gavin Spencer, one of the directors at Walls and Floors, is leading a team of staff members on a gruelling 30-day challenge. Throughout April 2017, the team is going to run 10km a day around local locations, to reach the 300km target. It's all in aid of Cancer Research UK. The company has set a target of £10,000.

Gavin said: “I’ve chosen Cancer Research UK as the benefiting charity. One day everybody will beat cancer, the more research they do, the sooner that day will come!”

The 300km target, which is more than the distance between Liverpool and London, is going to be hugely challenging for the team, who will run it in daily 10km stints, with no days off. They have been training vigorously, to work up to the big event in April.

Gavin went on to say: “I’m hopeful a lot of our customers and suppliers will support us and make this achievable.”

Donations can be made at the company's JustGiving Page.
