“Everyone had a great time and a few people even mustered the energy to run the last few hundred metres!” said Rieker’s Lance Russell, who was one of the gang that took part in the fundraising walk.
With a target of £3,000, we knew we’d set our sights pretty high. So, we were over the moon when we saw that we actually managed to raise a massive £5,049! All thanks to customers, colleagues, friends, family, and almost anyone else who knew why we were were raising the money.
Action Against Cancer is a cause very close to our hearts at Rieker. Sadly, our wonderful friend and colleague, Rachel Bibby, was recently diagnosed with the disease, after beating it in 2013. Although Rachel is definitely a fighter, we wanted to show our support. So, we decided to do something challenging that would encourage people to give as much money as possible to help the charity carry out more trials and good work on behalf of cancer sufferers.
Lance added: “I think we’re all really proud. It’s great to see everyone get together and do something for a such good cause.”
We’re all delighted with the donations and wish Rachel a speedy recovery. Well done everyone who took part and thanks to all who supported us — hopefully, there’ll be many more fundraising activities to tell you about soon!
