Marathon charity walk by Fermoy's staff


Staff at Fermoy's Garden Centre in South Devon joined forces with their colleagues at the company's three Value House Stores to complete a marathon walk in aid of Garden Re-Leaf...

Fermoy's and Value House Store team members in Devon used a treadmill instore to "walk" the 102-mile Two Moors Way while their colleagues in Weymouth tackled the 95-mile Jurassic Coastal Footpath, again on a treadmill.

The staff will all be dressed up and collected money from garden centre customers along the way.
 
“Garden Re-Leaf is well established within the garden centre world,” said David Noble, manager of Fermoy’s. “We are delighted to be doing our bit to help raise funds for Greenfingers.

"With the generosity of our customers we hope to be able to raise a substantial amount and maybe get a little fitter along the way!”

The team started their walk at 10am on Friday and hoped to complete the distances by Sunday afternoon.

Here's a selection of the team in action during their marathon walk...
