Congratulations to the Sendability runners for not only successfully completing the Cambridge Half Marathon but exceeding their fundraising target by over 200%.17 employees of all levels of fitness completed the challenging run yesterday and collectively as a team raised over £2,000 for the chosen charity partner Research UK (ARUK) – an incredible charity that is working to reduce the effects of dementia through research.

Our charity partner ARUK was selected based on personal links to our people within the business. The UK’s leading dementia research charity is dedicated to causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and cure of dementia.

Sendability believe that we have a responsibility to foster positive social and environmental progress. An integral part of this is supporting local community events, which includes our three-year commitment to the Cambridge Half Marathon.

Therefore, as a group, we are immensely proud of our staff for an incredible achievement that demonstrates our shared values of supporting a range of community projects and sports activities promoting healthy living and enjoyment of the outdoors.

“When the opportunity arose to be part of the Cambridge half marathon team I immediately jumped at the chance to put my hat in the ring. It’s been 8 years since I trained and ran my first half marathon, so I knew what I was letting myself in for. Research UK is close to me and my family as we have experienced the wonderful support that they provide.”

UK is a fantastic charity and being able to help it in some small way made my mind up for the run. I hope that we can go on supporting Thabeeb AKHTAR Research and that they can continue helping many others.”
