Managing Director Rebekah Meadows Raises Over £1,000 for Local Charity
Thank you to everyone who supported our Managing Director Rebekah Meadows in her 10K charity run for The Brick! Her efforts raised an impressive £1,125 for this very worthy cause.
The Brick Charity and Its Mission
As you may know, The Brick, a charity here in Wigan, hosted a local charity event on 1st September in the form of a 10K run around the local area.
The Brick is dedicated to empowering individuals and families in Wigan and Leigh. Their mission is to make life affordable for all by addressing issues such as housing, personal development, food and health. They believe in treating poverty and homelessness as social justice issues.
In the lead-up to the event, Rebekah followed a strict fitness regimen, balancing early morning jogs and evening sprints to prepare for the challenge. Despite facing setbacks, including a hip injury and illness, her determination never wavered. On the day of the run, she crossed the finish line in an impressive one hour and twenty minutes and we couldn’t be prouder!
