Leading taxi supplier Cab Direct’s staff gave it their all as they tackled a 5K run to raise money for the wheelchair rehabilitation charity WheelPower.

 

Staff at Cab Direct’s head office in Glasgow took part in the 5k Fun Run, organised by the North Glasgow Healthy Living Community. The charity’s main objective is to increase aspirations, promote opportunities and facilitate positive changes within these communities and the annual fun run has proved a great success in doing just that.

 

Over 2,200 fun runners participated in what turned out to be the biggest of its kind since the event started three years ago. The event attracted a very diverse crowd from serious runners to zany joggers in fancy dress - even some pooches were seen sporting their running gear!

 

En route entertainment from local bands and a bag piper contributed to the party atmosphere by keeping the fun runners in good sprits and helped encourage everyone to keep smiling despite their tired legs.

 

Allied Vehicles, Cab Direct’s parent company, were one of this years sponsors of the 5k and a group of enthusiastic Cab Direct staff took on the challenge of running the race. 

 

Leighanne Hutcheson in Cab Direct’s marketing department commented on the race: “It was a fantastic day with a great turnout. Everyone was in good spirits and we all had a great time!”

 

The team for Cab Direct were running to raise vital funds for WheelPower, the national charity for wheelchair sport that helps disabled men, women and children

 

achieve their sporting aspirations. The group collected £360 for WheelPower that will go towards the purchase of sports wheelchairs.

Well done guys!
