K2 Team Together For Spanish Charity Run

Stuart Stokes, Commonwealth Games 3000 metre steeple chase runner for Great Britain, won the Benidorm half marathon last month having led a group of runners, sponsored by leading manufacturer of conservatory systems K2

‘Team Redburn’ travelled to Spain, in aid of Manchester’s cancer research charity and hospital, Christies hospital, to take part in the popular event which attracted 1,687 runners. Having pulled together to raise an approximate total of £700 for the cancer research charity by taking part in the run, the icing on the cake for the team had to be Stuart’s outstanding win on the day.

Ella Walsh of K2, has run in this annual Spanish event for three consecutive years and was delighted that she was able to run alongside Stuart Stokes as part of Team Redburn: "It’s a great buzz to run the half marathon but it’s even better if you can run it with a recognised sportsman like Stuart and watch him go on to win."

K2’s Managing Director, Sally Fielding comments: "K2 has enjoyed supporting Stuart Stokes in recent years and Christies is a charity close to all our hearts. All of the staff have been keen to get behind this venture and dig deep as most people are quick to support these events regardless of whether they themselves are directly involved. We look forward to continuing to support both Stuart and Christies for many years to come."
