Three FG Burnett employees are set to tackle the last leg of their fundraising mission this Sunday by competing in the Aviemore 10K.
This is the final hurdle of the year for FG Burnett employees, which will lead to the company surpassing its £5,000 fundraising target for Wooden Spoon, a UK charity that supports disadvantaged and disabled children through rugby.
With the picturesque Cairngorm Mountains in the background, David MacLeod, Christopher Yannaghas and Derek Richardson will be running 10K across forest tracks, paths and roads in a bid to reach this target.
This follows a year of fundraising success for FG Burnett, with teams of employees collectively completing the Baker Hughes 10k in May and the Beast Race in September.
David MacLeod, director at FG Burnett, comments, “We are all psyched up for this weekend’s race, and determined to clock good times! It will be a huge achievement for us to take FG Burnett over the finish line and be part of surpassing the £5,000 target for Wooden Spoon. Everyone has worked so hard throughout the year and this is a testament to our hard work.”
Angus MacCuish, managing director at FG Burnett, adds, “Supporting charities is extremely important to us all at FG Burnett, and we are delighted to have selected Wooden Spoon as out corporate charity of the year. This is an excellent charity and all our team members should be extremely proud of their fundraising efforts this year – this will be a great achievement on Sunday.”
The Aviemore 10K is set to kick off on Sunday 11th October at Glenmore.
