24/06/14 Fancy a run? [of 784 miles!]
Solutions in I.T. are delighted to back the efforts of our accountant, Dave Hall, in his trek from John O’Groats to Land’s End in just 40 days!
Dave Hall, of accountancy firm “Needham Hall & Co”, is an experienced runner with over 100 marathons to his name (his PB is around 3hr 10mins), but his latest challenge beggar’s belief – John O’Groats to Land’s End in 40 days! That’s the equivalent of a marathon a day for 40 days!
Having recently visited Sierra Leone, Dave was touched by the hard work under way to rebuild the country. Dave says “The aim of the run is to raise funds to launch a new charity “Home Leone” that plans to build 1,000 low cost homes in Sierra Leone.” Hundreds of thousands of people live in the Freetown slums, a place where children die early and live amid the sewage and animals.
“We’re only too happy to get involved with this great cause and may even run a few miles with Dave along the way! Such a fantastic effort deserves our support and sponsorship.”
Gary Downes of Solutions in I.T.
