Run For All Bury 10K

September 15th saw the return of the ASDA Foundation's Bury 10K, which we're proud to say we supplied for. What happened at the Bury 10K? The race began at The Rock shopping centre, and lead participants on an incredible journey through Bury town, passing by the Town Hall, Parish Church, Fusilier Museum and the Art Museum. At the finish line, participants were handed one of our Bespoke Medals, specially designed for the Bury 10K. 

The repeat event is part of Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, one of the UK's biggest not-for-profit event companies, which provides a platform for a host of charities across the UK. Run For All is a piece of the legacy left behind by the late Jane Tomlinson CBE, who defied her cancer diagnosis and went on to participate in numerous endurance events. This included a 4,200-mile bike ride across the US, which ultimately helped her to raise the money needed to get Run For All off the ground. As well as acting as a platform for fundraising for many charities, Run For All actively supports the Jane Tomlinson Appeal. The Jane Tomlinson Appeal focuses strongly on supporting children's health and wellbeing and aims to improve the lives of those with cancer. 

Most recently the charity has offered OWLS support to children, helping them overcome the grief of losing a significant loved one in their lives. The Bury 10K played host to a vast number of participants and proved to be another very successful event for Run For All and the ASDA Foundation. We'd like to offer our congratulations to everyone who took part in the 10K and the Family Fun Run, which started a few hours later. There are more Run For All events to come, with the Sheffield 10K taking place on the 22nd of September, and the Yorkshire Marathon on the 20th October. Keep your eyes peeled for both.
