Cryoservice manager runs the extra mile for Cancer Research
David Bryant completes 145-mile Grand Union Canal Run from Birmingham to London
David Bryant, Cryoservice's business manager for science and industry, took 39 hours 15 minutes to complete the distance, running without sleep or a reasonable break.
‘The race is extremely challenging with only 40% of the starting line up normally finishing, so a hard training regime was required even to be in with a chance of reaching London,’ he said.
‘What kept me going was the knowledge that so many people had sponsored me and that the money raised would be going to a good cause.’
Bryant raised £3,350 for Cancer Research and came 16th.
Cryoservice, a supplier of specialist gases for science, leisure and industry, based in Worcester, UK, is a long-term business partner of Cancer Research UK and was recently short-listed for Supplier of the Year award, in recognition of its commitment and support of the organisation.
