David's run ensures big cash total for Marie Curie

David Fowkes put on his running shoes to take part in the Birmingham Insurance Institute annual run for charity, and raised the highest amount by any individual.

With a matching sum from Legal and General where David is a pricing manager, he was able to give £1,000 to Marie Curie Cancer Care and received a special award sponsored by chartered loss adjusters and claims specialists QuestGates.

The final total of cash raised for the charity from the 5k and 10k runs is not yet known but is expected to top £5,000.

 

Peter Maskell, president of the Birmingham Insurance Institute and chief executive of nationwide healthcare provider BHSF which sponsored the event, said: “David’s effort in raising so much cash for such a worthy charity, was fantastic.

 

“This was the third event of its kind organised by the BII Young Members Committee  and we are hoping to beat last year’s total of over £5,000”.
