Completing a ‘Wolf Run’ - a hardcore 10km run, swim and climb over numerous tough obstacles is not what a team from our Paintshop thought they’d be up to on one of their recent Saturday’s off.
well, that’s exactly what
Victoria Foster, Tom Kelly,
Dan Richardson, Craig
Fentiman, Steve Arms and
Ruth Cheslin who work in
different areas of our Paintshop got up to. You may
think what possessed them
to do such a thing - It’s a far
cry from a balti pie down the
football or taking their kids
to the park for an afternoon.
It was however, completed
all in a good cause, as in
the process, they raised an
amazing £1,000 for Ronald
McDonald House Charity
from the kindness of the
Paintshop team.
The cause is a very close
one for the team as recent
team member, Craig Fentiman, has benefited from a
lot of support. Craig commented, “My son, Carson,
was recently hospitalised
for a period of time and had
to spend a number of nights
admitted. The charity really
helped my partner with being able to stay close by and
always there for our son.”
The Ronald McDonald
House Charity is a foundation set up by well known
company McDonald’s. It
provides free ‘home away
from home’ accommodation
for families with children in
hospital. Craig continued,
“I wanted to do something
to give something back and
my colleagues were right
behind me.” Victoria, Tom,
Dan, Steve and Ruth came
out in full support, putting
their names in the hat to
complete the gruelling Wolf
Run. Victoria explained, “We
saw how much support the
charity gave to Craig and we
all wanted to help him say
thanks. We’re a close knit
bunch in the Paintshop and
we had lots of fun whilst
doing it.
