4 runners ran 4.5k to Marks and Spencers to help Interact raise money
David, Laurie and Lewis jogged to Marks and Spencer at Clocktower Retail Park, to meet Rachel, and then Andy from Interact and another volunteer, Ben, to pack shoppers bags to fundraise for Interact.
It was a fast start, with Marks and Spencer's shoppers keen to get home to prepare their barbecues on a sunny bank holiday Sunday. As there were quite a few of us, David and Ben set up at the entrance to raise funds too. Alongside assisting shoppers to pack their bags, we raised money for Interact, and spread the word about what this wonderful charity does.
We hope to do this again soon!
