Running to help fund circulatory and heart disease research
Last weekend 15 Atmos International (Atmos) colleagues from the Manchester office ran the annual AJ Bell Great Manchester Run, competing in the 10k and half marathon events to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.
Over 30,000 people were registered to take part in this year’s routes which saw participants run through Manchester City Centre and Salford.
Project Engineer and organizer of Atmos’ Great Manchester Run Oliver Port said: “It’s been another fantastic turnout from Atmos’ runners at this year’s Great Manchester Run. It’s great to see so many colleagues supporting such a worthy cause.”
Atmos’ runners have already made significant progress towards their £500 target for British Heart Foundation and there’s still time to donate. Every donation funds lifesaving medical research that could beat circulatory and heart diseases.
