The continuing story of Jo's fundraising marathon

.
The proud team

Still smiling

Giving a junior rugby team a season full of exciting new experiences, kitting them out and touring all costs money! Whilst we really appreciate the support we get from Onedrywash, we never take it for granted. With that in mind Jo has set about raising as much as she can for the team with a summer full of running.

Wednesday night saw the annual Doncaster road race, and yet another challenge for Jo - and one she rose to, setting a personal best time over the testing 5k course. Thanks to everyone who has sponsored Jo so far; we are now over £200 and still got the half marathon to go - good luck Jo!!

The story doesn't end there. Loz, BJ and Joe were joined by friends, Dan and Romany, to take on the 1 mile fun run and all did really well, managing to drag the 'enthusiastic' Brian round too!

Thanks again to Ian, Ol and Harriet who yet again turned up to support!

If you want to offer your support to the team, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Autoglass® and Onedrywash help out again

Charity Carwash Raises £200 for Keech Hospice Care

Friday saw the culmination of a month of fundraising for the annual Autoglass® day at Woburn Safari Park for Keech Hospice Care. This year, the weather was much more favourable compared to last, and whilst the rest of head office – dressed as their super heroes - played human table football, rode surf boards and ate from the barbeque, the retail repair team with support from SJ set about ‘washing’ (drywashing) cars with the waterless carwash product, Onedrywash, for the cause.

This was a great opportunity for the new management team to spend some time together, and they worked hard together, cleaning well over 20 cars, inside and out, to raise £200 for the cause.

Despite the senior management needing to keep checking on things inside, and SJ always finding a distraction, the day managed to pass by in a much more organized way than last year, and the team should be really proud of their efforts.

Next year, Tim from Onedrywash will be joining us. Well, he is much better with a cloth in his hand than SJ (just what we’ve heard !!)

Thanks to SJ for giving us his time and the tools to do the job, and thanks to everyone who let us loose on their cars :)
