A number of dedicated employees from the Spear & Jackson Group ran the Sheffield Half Marathon on Sunday 7th April 2024 in aid of Campaign Against Living Miserably. With a city centre start and finish, a huge crowd of enthusiastic supporters cheered on this year’s participants out of the city and back for the annual race.
Team S&J saw employees from across the group take on the half marathon, with runners from Bowers Group, Spear & Jackson and Robert Sorby joining in. Robert Sorby’s Chris D’Roza completed the race in 2 hours, 22 minutes and 45 seconds, while Spear & Jackson’s Anna Dixon crossed the finish line in an amazing 1 hour, 49 minutes, and 4 seconds. Finally, Bowers Group’s Mike Turner achieved a remarkable time of 1 hour, 36 minutes and 59 seconds.
The Group raised money for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which is a leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this by offering life saving services, provoking conversation and bringing people together to reject living miserably.
