Colleagues completed the Reading Half Marathon, raising nearly £2,500 for a charity based at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
The firm’s runners, Elizabeth Short, Louise Ryan, Jennifer Scott, Brigitta Lizel-Danso, Jonathon Brown and Lisa Perry, were supporting one of its adopted charities, BIBS – Babies in Buscot Support, which take care of babies and their families in the special care baby unit (Buscot Ward). For the past three years, Blandy & Blandy has also supported the Royal Berks Charity, also based at the Hospital.
Liz Josif, BIBS’ Fundraising Manager, said: "We were thrilled to have the support of Blandy & Blandy for the Reading Half Marathon, including former Buscot parents from the firm who know first-hand the difference our charity makes. Not only did they put in many hours of training for the event, but they also raised a fantastic amount too! On the day, they were joined by over 50 others running for our small charity, meaning the atmosphere along the route and in the race village was electric! BIBS is very grateful for Blandy & Blandy’s continued support. They are helping us fund equipment, facilities, and emotional support for local families with sick and premature babies."
Partner Elizabeth Short, one of the runners, added: "We all had a fantastic day and the support along the route, from BIBS, colleagues and the wider Reading community, was amazing! I would like to thank Liz and Sarah at the charity for all their hard work in putting together Team BIBS and all our friends, families, colleagues and connections for their generous support which I know will help BIBS to continue their invaluable work."
