The Great Walk (Marathon) & Chester Half Marathon
Hello,
In May I'll be running the Chester Half Marathon, 13.1 miles around the lovely area of Chester, and then 4 weeks later walking 26.2 miles through taking part in "The Great Walk", an annual event, where Unilever employees come together by walking a full marathon and raising money for charity.
This year I am raising money for Live Life Give Life which is a Organ Donation Awareness Charity (https://livelifegivelife.org.uk) who do great work to get people to sign up and then share their organ donor choices, so that their family will honour their decision when the time comes; AND a charity that is local to where Unilever's HQ is located, called SERV Surrey & London which provides an urgent volunteer based blood delivery service every night across Surrey and London at no cost to the NHS (https://servsl.org.uk/).
Over the past four years we have seen over 800 employees come together and raise over £200,000 for The Great Walk's charity partners.
If you are able to put your hands in your pockets and donate just a few quid to support these incredible causes I'll be very chuffed!
Thanks, Rhi
