Running your first marathon may seem like a daunting prospect to many. So our brilliant Petrus Service Lead, Liz Varey, and The Regenda Group’s Assistant Director of Business, Cate Manning, are sharing the miles.
On 3rd April 2022, Liz and Cate will relay the Therme Manchester Marathon, where they will run 13.1 miles each to raise money for Petrus in support of Petrus’ 50th birthday.
Liz has worked at Petrus for 16 years, and said: “Every day, I work with the most incredible people, from the staff at Petrus to those who use our services. We literally change lives, supporting people into safe places and working with them for as long as they need us. But we rely on donations. £100 provides a free daily breakfast for 55 people for a whole week. £20 provides a good quality sleeping bag and toiletries. Your donation will make a huge difference to the people we work with.
Cate said: “When Liz asked me to run the marathon with her as a relay, I absolutely jumped at the chance. I’ve worked with Petrus for a number of years as part of my role within The Regenda Group and I’m so excited to support them again. Even a small amount of money can make a big difference.”
