Supporting our staff is something that Bridge Interiors takes seriously. We are proud to be supporting our financial controller Stacey Wall, as she and a friend train and take part in the 2020 London Marathon.
The London Marathon?
The London Marathon was first held on the 29 March 1981 and is a major fund raiser for many charities. It has raised over £450 million for charity since 1981 and holds the Guinness World record as the largest annual fundraising event in the world.
The 2020 Marathon is scheduled for the 26th of April and is a 26.2-mile (42.195km) race.
A note from Stacey
“We are now in the thick of training and its starting to get scary! I managed my furthest ever run on Saturday – 14 miles (2 hours and 30 minutes of nonstop running).
If anyone would like to donate, we are running in aid of Blind Veterans UK which helps Veterans with partial or full sight loss rebuild their lives and be able to live independently by providing support, rehabilitation and amazing gadgets, aids, and technology. All this enables them to live their life to the fullest and regain independence after experiencing the loss of their sight.”
Stacey’s best time yet!
