SalesStar Head to London in Race to Support Popular Children’s Sports Centre
Two members of the SalesStar UK team have returned from London with a personal best having ran 5 miles beyond their target distance in a charity ultramarathon headed up by rugby league legend Jamie Peacock MBE.
Gemma Betts and Pete Evans of the Huddersfield-based sales transformation firm both completed 15 miles of the ‘Run for the Roof Challenge’ – a 100-mile challenge comprising a double loop round London in aid of sports and mentoring charity, Greenhouse Sports.
Funds raised will support the vital repair of the roof of Greenhouse’s community sports centre in Westminster, which remains closed until repairs are complete.
Both Gemma and Pete had committed to run only the first 10 miles of the challenge but were able to go beyond that thanks to prior training and motivation from fellow runners. These included well-known sports figures such as former pro-footballer Sam Rents, head of partnerships at British Cycling Chris Williams, sports agency founder Simon Dent, and Jamie Peacock MBE.
