Tamar Labels to take on charity challenge

Team Tamar Labels is partaking in the event to raise funds in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, with production manager Ricky Hann joined by Dave Helcoop, Paul Turner and Adrian High.

To complete the triathlon, Team Tamar Labels will complete a bike ride of 44km and a canoe race of 10km, before running 15km.

Team Tamar Labels joins a host of industry names completing activities for charitable causes this year, including Edale customer Douglas Storrie, Herma UK and a team from Labels & Labeling parent Tarsus, which will be taking on the Three Peaks challenge.

The Tamar Labels team has set itself the target of raising £2,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Donations can be made via the team's Just Giving page.

A team from UK folding carton manufacturer Benson Group is also taking on the Samworth Brothers Charity Challenge in 2013, as reported by sister publication Packprint World.

Hann said: ‘Training for the event has certainly not been an easy ride. Some of the lads have been training early in the morning before work as well as going out in the evenings.

‘This includes running around Tavistock and then walking on Dartmoor after dark. This is our first ever charity event and all the guys have been training incredibly hard, so we would really appreciate as much support as we can possibly get to help us hit our £2,000 target.’
