Redditch Volkswagen Supports Race For Life
Redditch Volkswagen supported the annual Redditch Race for Life 5km run on Sunday 8th July held at the Arrow Country Park in Redditch.
Across the team individual sponsorship totaled over £300 which will be matched on a pound for pound basis by Redditch Volkswagen, giving a total contribution to the Breast Cancer charity of in excess of £600.
A massive turn out ensured over 2000 participants running (or walking) in aid of Breast Cancer. Redditch Volkswagen entered eight ladies into the race who all finished in admirable times with importantly lots of sponsorship money pledged in recognition of their efforts. Support from BRMB radio who provided a DJ and sound system to get the atmosphere going was well received by all of the runners, particularly the en masse aerobics exercises to warm everyone up before the race. Organiser’s relied on sponsorship from Tesco’s who helped with logistics and also local branches of Army and RAF Cadet force’s who provided marshals for the event.
Within the Redditch runners Jane White managed a creditable 8th place position with a time of under 23 minutes. The rest of the runners came in at various intervals with all of them confirming that while it was tough,’ it was worth it’. Would they do it again next year – you bet!
