Everyone in the BTCSoftware team would like to congratulate Vicky Johnston, our Customer Manager, Martin Banks, one of our Solution Developers & their friends, for their successful participation in Sunday’s Color Run in London.
The Color Run is a 5km run with a bit of a difference. Participants start the day in a white t-shirt and get covered from head to toe in a rainbow of colours at each kilometre of the course. Vicky and Martin ran the race to raise money for Woking Street Angels – one of BTCSoftware’s chosen charities.
The Street Angels’ volunteers offer care and support to those affected by homelessness, intoxication, drug abuse, assault or any other issue which has caused personal distress or the potential for physical harm.
Street Angels help people whoever they are and whatever their situation, for example by listening, simple acts of generosity, caring, offering practical help or by referring people to other (specialist) agencies who can help them. They make a really positive impact on crime and antisocial behaviour in town centres, particularly in the vicinity of bars and clubs, by providing a calming presence on the streets late at night.
Vicky & Martin completed the race in 40 minutes. Commenting on the event Vicky and Martin said, “The race was so much fun from start to finish, we will definitely be doing the next one.”
Well done to you both on a great effort for a fantastic cause!
