Story
We're taking on a 10km* inflatable obstacle course to raise money for Sarcoma UK - a cause very close to our hearts.
A team of Wilkinson Cameras' staff, friends, and family are tackling a 10km inflatable obstacle course on August 2nd - and for some of us, this is definitely well outside our comfort zones.
***As this is a group sponsorship page, please leave a message for the person you're sponsoring so they can see who's out there rooting for them!***
We're doing this in support of Sarcoma UK, a charity that means a great deal to us. In November 2023, our Marketing Director, Alex Wilkinson, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma called Leiomyosarcoma. After major surgery, Alex is currently classed as having "No Evidence of Disease." But her journey continues with scans, tests, and check-ups every 12 weeks, and it’s been a frightening and challenging time for her and those closest to her.
Tragically, in May 2020, we also lost our dear friend and colleague, Sara Pendwarden, to a form of sarcoma. This event deeply affected the Wilkinson Cameras family and adds even more meaning to this fundraiser.
Sarcoma UK is the only charity in the UK dedicated to all types of sarcoma. They fund vital research, provide expert information and support, and campaign for better treatments. Your donations will help them continue this important work.
We’ll be sharing updates on our training (and probably a few mishaps!) right here and on social media. You can see what we get up to on:
We'd love your support - whether it's a donation, a cheer of encouragement, or a share!
Please support us if you can,
Thank you ❤️ - Wilkinson Cameras
*The event is officially named the Cheshire Inflatable 5K 2025, but we have opted to take on the 10K route!
