DBL Logisitics, a leading Sheffield logistics firm, is a long term supporter of our charity. Their transport planning manager, Paul Greenway, is taking on an ‘extreme fundraising mission’ to raise funds and awareness for Roundabout!
Paul will be taking part in at least eight endurance running and swimming events, including 10K runs in Huddersfield, Langsett, Lincoln, Hull, Leeds, Nottingham, York and Sheffield during 2017, as well as the Sheffield Half Marathon and The Great North Run in September.
Family man Paul joined the award-winning, family-run business in early 2016, and upon learning of the firm’s frequent support of Roundabout, decided to get involved.
Paul said: “At first, I decided to do something different to lose a bit of weight and get fitter, but never did I envisage that I’d end up going to the lengths I’ve gone to!
“But I’ve realised that I love what I’m doing and would love to push myself further.
“When I came to DBL Logistics I knew of the charity activity they’re involved in, and it made sense for me to put my efforts towards a good cause.
“Up to now, I’ve competed in three Great Swim Series events – Great Windermere twice, the Great Scottish Swim once – and it was fantastic to get my first 10K under my belt in October, as well as raise more than £200 for charity.
“I’m a family man and if what I’m doing can inspire my kids then I’d be over the moon – hopefully I can do my family proud and raise as much money as possible.”
DBL Logistics has raised thousands of pounds for the charity in recent years, having taken part in several of our charity’s flagships event – the Sleep Out.
