PHS Datashred on track for Whizz Kidz

Four employees at PHS Datashred, the data destruction company, created history recently by winning a 4x100m relay race at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford.

The four runners were selected from a team of 30 from the company who were entered into the race after raising over £2500 for Whizz Kidz, the charity that supports disabled children and young people in the UK.

Stewart Bowles, Jessica Regan, Andrew Coffer and Will Awdas were chosen as the first in the world to run a 4 x100m relay against other corporate fund raisers at the Olympic Stadium, ahead of the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games.

On the road to the Gold Challenge Olympic Stadium event, the 30 strong team of employees covered an incredible 2500km by running, walking, cycling and horse riding, raising over £2,500 for Whizz Kidz in the process.

Anthony Pearlgood, commercial director at PHS Datashred, said;

“We’re all donning our trainers and getting sporty for this worthwhile charity that improves the lives of disabled children and young people. It’s great to work as a team on this. Winning the relay, in the commentator’s words “by a country mile” was amazing as it was such an honour to be invited to run on the same track that Usain Bolt will be speeding down in July.”
