I am raising money because I felt bold and brave and signed up to run with work colleagues... WOT? Good lord, what was I thinking? Could it be that I... love where I work? Could it be... a good working culture?

I remember in my first few weeks at MG OMD, I met the CEO of Nabs (The amazing Sue Todd) because our CEO (the equally outstanding Natalie Bell) was hosting NABS at our All Agency Day. I remember thinking 'ah, a fairly corporate environment where they actually care about people? I think this could be the one!'

Well, yes, must be, because I am still here at MG OMD, enjoying the culture and I am now, running 10K's with colleagues? WHO IS SHE?!

Please donate to this great cause who help catch people when they fall.

With love, Catherine AKA Caddy x
