Scotland’s best loved currency provider, No1 Currency has raised a phenomenal £10,000 after running the Edinburgh 10k for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
No1 Currency’s 20 strong team, including Managing Director Mark McElney, took part in the annual Bupa Great Edinburgh Run 2009 in May covering 10 kilometres in and around Scotland’s capital city.
No1 Currency took part in the event to raise funds and awareness for the charity Marie Curie Cancer Care. Each runner was asked to nominate their favourite charity and all names were put into a hat with the lucky charity, Marie Curie, being chosen at random.
Team No1 raised a staggering £5,000 of external sponsorship from friends, families and other businesses which was then matched by No1 Currency to give a grand total of £10,000.
Today the cheque for £10,000 was presented to Marie Curies’ Emily Hogg by Mark McElney, Managing Director of No1 Currency. Mark commented “This has been brilliant and exceeded our expectations. I’m very proud of my team they have all worked very hard to raise this money for such a worthwhile cause. I would also like to thank all of Team No1’s sponsors who have made this fantastic achievement possible with all their generous donations.”
Emily commented “This is really tremendous amount of money and we are very grateful for the fundraising efforts everyone has made and the matched funds from No1 Currency. The money will help us to continue our valuable services, free of charge to the terminally ill in Edinburgh & the Lothians”
