Over the course of 24 hours, the team from Howarth Timber managed to walk around the relay track in order to raise £3,000 for the Cancer charity. The team captain has said that her is proud of himself and the rest of the team for working hard in order to complete this gruelling challenge in order to raise money for such a good cause.

The business has planned a range of company wide initiatives in order to raise money for the charity and there will also be a number of individual fundraising events all seeking to raise as much money as possible to further the research into the treatment of Cancer.
