Staff from across London, working for Access Self Storage laced up their walking boots on a hot London day for a gruelling half marathon sponsored team walk, raising almost £2,000 for Cancer Research UK.
The 30 strong team walked over 13 miles, stopping at seven Access Self Storage stores along the half marathon route, with the walk taking place as a part of the first ever Self Storage Week, a celebration of all things Self Storage, and in aid of charity.
Colleagues from across the network of Access stores in the UK began the walk in Fulham, and ended in Kings Cross. The 13.1 mile challenge saw the walkers also visit Access Self Storage sites in Chelsea, Battersea, Acre Lane, Bermondsey and Islington, in the collective effort to raise awareness and funds for life saving cancer research.
Whilst Self Storage Week has been created to shine a light on a lesser known industry and the vital role that self storage plays for individuals, families and businesses across the country, this fundraiser activity has been created to raise awareness of how the industry can also do community good.
Self Storage Week also celebrates the people behind the storage industry, the walk serves as a way for staff to connect to stores, communities, and causes and offers those involved in the walk the opportunity to connect with all.
Donations can still be made to support the fundraiser and raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK at; SSW Half Marathon Walk
