Walking Together in Memory: Spandex UK’s Charity Walk for Simon Carus

On the 29th of August, the team at Spandex UK will come together for a very special charity walk, honoring the memory of their beloved colleague Simon Carus, who sadly passed away in 2019. Simon wasn’t just a coworker; he was a friend, a mentor, and an inspiration to everyone he met. To keep his spirit alive, the team decided to channel their grief into something positive, a challenge that would bring them closer as a team and raise funds for a cause dear to Simon’s heart.

Since the idea was first proposed, the team has been working tirelessly to prepare. Early mornings and late evenings have seen colleagues lacing up their trainers, pushing through the aches, and encouraging each other every step of the way. They’ve logged countless miles, braved the unpredictable British weather, and supported each other through the ups and downs of training.

For many, it’s not just about physical endurance but emotional resilience. Every step taken in training is a step towards healing, remembrance, and community. Simon’s kindness and dedication continue to inspire the team to give their best, both on the track and in their daily work.

As the walk day approaches, the excitement and anticipation grow. The route may be challenging, but the team’s determination is stronger. Together, they’ll walk in Simon’s memory, celebrating his life, his legacy, and the unbreakable bond that holds the Spandex UK family together
