Gainsborough Healthcare Group Director raises over £5,500 completing London Marathon  

Andy Williams, Sales and Marketing Director for the Gainsborough Healthcare Group, has completed his first London Marathon and raised over £5,500 for SHINE, the spina bifida charity.

Part of the Gainsborough Healthcare Group, Abacus Specialist Bathroom Solutions is one of four brands that Andy is responsible for in terms of sales and marketing. As a talented cricket player and not a runner, he has been training for several months to tackle the London Marathon. Despite sustaining a knee injury before the race, he completed the course in less than six hours. His family were so proud to cheer him over the line including one of his daughters who has spina bifida.

As he received his race medal Andy said:

“It wasn’t easy with the heat and my injury – but the incredible atmosphere, the energy from the crowds, and the thought of raising money for SHINE, the spina bifida charity, kept me going to the finish line. A huge thank you to family, friends and colleagues who supported my fundraising. Training for and running a marathon is a small feat compared to those challenges my daughter Margot often faces – she inspires me every single day.”

The donations Andy has raised will now help fund the continued services and support provided by SHINE to people of all ages with spina bifida. The whole Gainsborough Healthcare Group team, including Abacus, fully congratulate Andy on this epic achievement.
