One of Enham’s runners is Flight Lieutenant Andrew ‘Boomer’ Keith, a RAF Red Arrows pilot. Enham is very excited to have Boomer on their team of runners and amazed he is fitting marathon training into his hectic schedule leading up to the Red Arrows display season. Running with him is his fiancée Emma Rhodes who is also an officer in the Royal Air Force. Emma’s father works in Enham’s Business Ability department which helps clients to start up their own businesses. Boomer and Emma decided to run for Enham as they support Enham’s practices and military connections. Also Boomer’s mother is disabled so they both understand the difficulties disabled people face in life and also see running the marathon as a great personal achievement.
Another one of Enham’s runners is Mark McManus who is running in memory of his late mother, Mrs Sandra McManus, who worked as a carer for Enham for 10 years. Mark said ‘Enham was so good to her this was a nice way to give something back.’
One of Enham current employees David Inglis is also running to raise funds for Enham along with Rob Hedges and Ben Sharman who are running for Enham for the third time.
Please join us in wishing all the runners the best of luck as they raise much appreciated funds which will enable Enham to build new accommodation for their disabled trainees.
