Tesco teams take on set for 13‑mile Cancer Research UK walk

Teams across Oxfordshire will take part in a 13-mile sponsored walk to raise funds for Cancer Research UK, building on the success of last year’s event.

Store teams from across Central England and South Wales will walk 10 designated routes as part of a wider company-backed campaign.

Nicola McGuinness, Tesco South Wales store director, said: “The scale of support for this year’s walk has been fantastic.

“Our Community Champions and store teams have put a huge amount of work into organising fundraising activity, bringing colleagues together and helping create real momentum across the region.

“It is a strong reflection of the dedication our teams show to supporting good causes in the communities they serve.”

Store teams and community champions will also run in-store and local fundraising activities leading up to the walk to raise awareness and boost donations.

A total of 800 Tesco colleagues across 21 regions are expected to take part in the walk, which will take place on July 1.

The goal is to raise more than £300,000 for Cancer Research UK, helping it continue to advance research that is improving the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Supporters can donate and learn more by visiting their nearest Tesco store.
