Three runners from one of the largest independent agencies in Birmingham kept a cool head in searing temperatures to complete a Midlands 5K and 10K race for a national heart charity.
James Suntharalingham, Simon Richardson and Claudio Starri from Birmingham-based BMG Research joined hundreds of dedicated runners to complete the Wythall and Hollywood fun runs for Heart Research UK in temperatures close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The trio have raised over £500 so far after BMG Research agreed to match fund their total.
James said: “It was hard work in the heat but a lot of fun and very rewarding. We can’t wait to do it again!
“A big thank you to those who dipped into their pockets to raise money for Heart Research UK. You can still donate online at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bmgresearch.”
Heart Research UK, based in Leeds, opened an office in Birmingham in 2007 to support heart patients and local research projects across the Midlands. Unique for a charity, the money raised locally stays locally to boost the people and projects in the region.
