TESCO colleagues across the West Midlands are aiming to help raise over £300,000 for Cancer Research UK as they take on a 13-mile sponsored walk, building on the success of last year’s event.
A total of 800 colleagues from stores across Central England and South Wales will take part in 10 different routes as part of a wider company-wide initiative in support of the cancer charity.
The sponsored walk will take place on July 1 and is expected to bring together teams from 21 Tesco regions, as colleagues once again unite to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK.
Nicola McGuinness, Tesco South Wales Store Director, said: “The scale of support for this year’s walk has been fantastic.
“Our Community Champions and store teams have put a huge amount of work into organising fundraising activity, bringing colleagues together and helping create real momentum across the region.
“It is a strong reflection of the dedication our teams show to supporting good causes in the communities they serve.”
Ahead of the sponsored walk, store teams and Community Champions will lead a programme of in-store and local fundraising activities to raise awareness and encourage donations across the wider community.
Funds raised will help Cancer Research UK continue to advance research that is improving the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Anyone able to support the campaign or make a donation can visit their local Tesco store.
