Eight members of staff from REDBOX in Sunbury, ran , walked or cycled 100 miles between them on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th Decem-ber, to take part in the Race From the North Pole to raise money for Helen & Douglas House children’s hospice.
REDBOX has supported the hospice since 2017 and has now raised a total of £24,095. .
Victoria Creswick (pictured right) who is part of the REDBOX team said ‘We’re were all super excited to help Santa on his way to Helen & Douglas House by running/walking/cycling 100 miles between us. I ran 10K wearing something Christmassy. I ran 5k as an inflatable pumpkin earlier this year so I have never run so far but it is all for a good cause.
‘This year has been challenging and times are tough especially for charities like Helen & Douglas House, who are struggling with the impact of Coronavirus on their fundrais-ing.
‘The work Helen & Douglas House does to help local ter-minally ill children and their families is really is amazing. They need to raise £3.6 mil-lion a year to provide their expert care and 85% of this comes from public dona-tions.
‘We know it’s an incredibly tough time for everyone at the moment, but every donation counts no matter how small. You can sponsor our team at : https://racefromnorthpole.helenanddouglas.org.uk/fundraising/redbox-group-race-from-the-north-pole-for-hel ‘
