A TEAM of Irvine travel agents have completed a marathon to support a primary school.
The group from Hays Travel at Riverway Retail Park ran the full 26.22 miles on an in-store treadmill, raising £920 for Glebe Primary School.
The team’s fundraising effort will help cover transportation costs for the school’s summer trip.
Joanne Macdougall, branch manager at Hays Travel Irvine, said: "The fundraiser was a great day.
"We had a lot of fun, especially with my granddaughters joining in and helping, talking to our customers and asking if they would like some juice or a wee prosecco etc!
"All staff had a go on the treadmill, and it was great to see the teamwork. It was also lovely to see the local community supporting our event, and we had gathered a lot of nice raffle prices to give away to them."
The fundraiser was attended by customers, parents, and teachers from Glebe Primary, as well as Joanne's family.
Mrs Sanderson, headteacher at Glebe Primary School, said: "Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into organising and supporting this, it is hugely appreciated.
"I am absolutely delighted to hear how successful the day was. This is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to your hard work. We are very grateful for your continued support."
Hays Travel, the UK’s largest independent travel agent, gives each branch a £500 budget for local fundraising activities, including donations to youth mental health charities and other causes of their choice.
