Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Myself and  members of the management team at Bowker Motor Group are in Blackburn are training to take part in this year’s Asda Foundation Burnley 10K.

We are raising money for Burnley FC in the Community, the Official charity of Burnley FC. Working hard to inspire, support and deliver change our local communities to transform people’s lives for the better every day to deliver our mission to inspire, support and deliver change to communities across Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale, the Ribble Valley and West Yorkshire. The work of BFC in the community is channelled into five key areas: sport, education, health, social inclusion and community facilities. The highly-skilled, dynamic and passionate team now deliver over 35 community projects that touch the lives of a huge spectrum of people in and around Burnley. From children and young people right through to senior citizens.

 Everyone in the management team decided to enter together. We work hard. So we wanted an opportunity to team build and de-stress a little!

“We have a good mix of enthusiasts and novices. And what we lack in ability we make up for in spirit! We’re organising joint training events and encouraging each other with some healthy online banter. It’s a great event and we can’t wait to get started on the day.”

Bowker Motor Group has enlisted the help of Jamie Kennedy at Burnley-based Fitness Experience with some assistance with training and nutrition. All the competitors will be monitored using a digital smartphone app and offered tailored advice in the build up to the race.

We’ll take any help we can get! Many of our staff live in Burnley so it means a lot to support a local community event. We just hope we do everyone proud.”
