Eleven employees from Dekko Window Systems are set to take on the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run Half Marathon in support of Willow Wood Hospice.
The team will join tens of thousands of runners on the streets of Manchester on Sunday, May 31 to raise vital funds and awareness for the local charity, which provides high-quality, multi-professional care, support and education across Tameside and Glossop for patients affected by any life-limiting illness.
With training already underway, the Dekko team are hoping to hit their £5,000 target before starters orders for the 13.1-mile run. The challenge is also about the team working as a team and making a positive difference within the communities it serves.
Managing Director Kurt Greatrex said: “At Dekko, we’re passionate about setting an example and supporting causes that genuinely matter. Willow Wood Hospice does incredible work; this is our way of giving something back and as an Ashton-under-Lyne charity, it’s even more important for us.
He added: “I’m immensely proud of the eleven members of our team who have committed to this challenge. It takes real dedication to train for a half marathon, and every mile they run, and every pound raised, will help Willow Wood continue its vital work. We’d encourage anyone who can to donate and help spur our runners on.”
Dekko is inviting customers, suppliers and industry colleagues to support the runners by making a donation, no matter how big or small, for this truly worthy cause.
