Ten keen runners from a Mossley based manufacturer are digging out their trainers and taking to the streets in aid of North West Air Ambulance.  Employees from wood recyclers Plevin are taking part in the Great Manchester Run to raise vital funds for the charity.  

The Great Manchester Run, taking place on Sunday 10 May, is Europe's largest 10k race which is expected to see in excess of 40,000 runners taking part. The route, which takes race goers through the heart of Manchester, will see Plevin's team of runners complete the course and raise over £1000 for the charity.

Andrew Clugston, Transport Manager, Plevin, added, “We are proud to be running in aid of the North West Air Ambulance. The speed in which they can reach people in need of treatment is incredible, Since they rely solely on charitable donations to keep them in the air, we have decided to make them our charity of the year”.

Linda de Sá, Challenge Events Officer at the North West Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We’d like to thank Plevin for choosing us as their nomination charity for the Great Manchester Run this year. The donation will really make a difference as we are totally reliant on funds from the public. We wish good luck to everyone racing for us!”
