We are delighted to announce that on Sunday, 13th October, a team of 12 dedicated members from BS Fixings will be participating in the Manchester Half, an event that aims to represent the wonderful people of Manchester and celebrate their achievements. This event will be particularly special and exciting for our team, as for many, it will be their first half-marathon.
The decision to participate in this half marathon wasn’t just about personal achievement. The team at BS Fixings saw it as an opportunity to give back to the community by supporting two incredible charities. The first of these is St Catherine's Hospice, a local charity in Preston that is renowned for its compassionate palliative and end-of-life care, serving individuals with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, motor neurone disease, and heart failure. What sets this charity apart is its commitment to providing support not only within their own environment but also in the homes of those in need, ensuring that patients are looked after in the setting that suits them best. Supporting St Catherine’s means contributing to the comfort and dignity of those facing some of life’s most challenging moments.
The second charity that we have chosen to support is Macmillan Cancer Support. What we admire about Macmillan is that the charity doesn’t just address the physical aspects of this disease; they also provide crucial financial and emotional support, helping patients and their families navigate the wider issues that come with a cancer diagnosis. By making sure that people can access the resources and support they need, Macmillan makes it possible for those living with cancer to maintain a sense of normalcy and control over their lives during an incredibly tough time.
In preparation for this special occasion, we are reaching out to our community to help us fuel the charities that make a big difference in people’s lives. Whether through donations or by simply spreading the word, your support can have a significant impact on lives across the UK. We’ve set up dedicated fundraising pages for both St Catherine’s Hospice and Macmillan Cancer Support, and every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to our fundraising goals. Your generosity will directly support these charities in continuing their essential work.
