Local staff, including Store Manager, Brett Stone, from Access Self Storage Wandsworth will be lacing up their walking boots on 25th June for a grueling half marathon sponsored team walk, raising money for Cancer Research UK.
The 30 strong team will be walking 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 will begin the walk from Fulham, and end in Kings Cross. The 13.1 mile challenge will see 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.
Brett Stone said, “We wanted to do something meaningful that connects our stores and gives back to a cause that is close to many of our hearts. It’ll be a long walk, but every step will be worth it.”
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 be made to support the fundraiser and raise vital funds for Cancer Research via the Access Self Storage Website.
