Hales Group Managing Director, Kirsty Walpole, raises £900 (and counting) with colleagues for Cancer Research UK

05 March

For the second year running, Hales Group have selected Cancer Research UK as one of their charities in 2022.

To kick off our fundraising activities this year, Kirsty Walpole, Hales Group Managing Director, took part in Dryathlon.

Kirsty commented: “January is always a time for New Year’s Resolutions and in 2022, mine are focused on self-care. I have always considered the Dryathlon but never participated; when I saw Cancer Research UK were behind the fundraiser, I thought it would be a fantastic way to raise funds for our charity and kick start my self-care plan.”

Continuing her self-care journey, Kirsty also pledged to run 2 miles every day throughout February to raise more funds for Cancer Research UK. She explained: “Whilst browsing Facebook one evening, I came across the challenge, also linked to Cancer Research UK, to run 2 miles every day throughout February. I thought why not make it a double month fundraiser!”

“Friends, family and colleagues have all pledged their support and I am excited for the challenge, to raise funds for a vital charity and a cause that has, and continues, to affect so many of our lives.”

Hales Group are committed to working with charities to give something back and make a difference to communities and the individuals within them. If you would like to sponsor Kirsty and help raise money for life-saving cancer research, please donate today via our Just Giving page.
