On the 23rd March half of the Mesh team took part in the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon to raise money for two fantastic cancer charities helping support those close to the team.

In total 16 runners from Accenture, Brand Learning, and Mesh Energy came together to for "Team Lucy" and pound out 13+ miles to raise over £12,000 for Victoria's Promise and St Michael's hospice in Basingstoke.

Pink was the colour choice and so all manner of clothing came out to meet the brief, including a wide range of tutus!

On the day the warm spring weather and  grey skies held back rain to ensure perfect running and supporting conditions for those around the course. The flat course started and ended at the stunning Hampton Court Palace and spent most of the time along the Thames and finishing through Bushy park to rapturous applause from the crowds.

"The day was superb, Having trained for months through the cold, dark and muddy winter months, the day didn't disappoint.  The team did so well. With a range of abilities and some incredible support from thousands of people around the course, we all completed the course with plenty of smiles. I am so proud of the team!" Doug Johnson

Now to resting those legs and planning the next one!
