All for Cash for Kids
2nd July 2019

Nina Colquhoun, Finance Director at tiled roof manufacturer SUPALITE, has helped to raise £3,971 for the charity Cash for Kids.

Supported by SupaLite, Nina’s charity drive began by organising a special five-a-side football tournament. The ‘SupaLite Cash for Kids Charity Shield’ saw several businesses from across the local area and the industry enter teams.

The charity tournament also featured a raffle, with a range of prizes including a signed Harry Kane England shirt, tickets for Preston North End and a full array of vouchers, gift boxes and event wristbands. One lucky winner even received a training session for two with Commonwealth Gold Medal winning boxer Scott Fitzgerald. The raffle alone helped to raise £771.

The main fundraising event saw Nina complete a lifelong dream of conquering the London Marathon. Despite running similar distances on trails, the Marathon presented a new challenge, pushing Nina out of her comfort zone. Even so, Nina completed the 26.2 mile marathon in a very respectable 6:22:29, smashing her fundraising goal of £2,500 in the process.

Nina said: “The charity does tremendous work across the region supporting children by helping to alleviate poverty, overcome disability and generally improve their quality of life. I’m absolutely thrilled we were able to raise such a huge sum for a really great cause.”
