Miles and Smiles

1 in 3 people will be affected by cancer in their lifetime, either directly or supporting a family member or friend. Each year Boots IT organise and run the annual Miles and Smiles event at Sherwood Pines – a chance for IT colleagues to run, walk or cycle as many miles collectively as possible to raise money and awareness for Macmillan.

Rethink have been a key sponsor of the event, and this year had the biggest turnout to date. A group of keen RTM guys were at Sherwood Pines bright and early and raring to go where we overall achieved a total of 44 miles with some individual personal achievements and some excellent downtime on the bouncy castle.

By the time the day drew to a close everyone who took part across Boots IT had managed to clock up a staggering 1,980 miles by either walking, running or cycling around pre-defined courses – definitely some tired legs on Monday morning. The object of this event, as well as bringing together an excellent family event is to try and raise as much sponsorship as possible.
