Vidhur, Finance Director at\u00a0the agency raised \u00a311,084 for\u00a0the Cystic Fibrosis Trust after\u00a0successfully completing the\u00a010k run, the UK\u2019s most\u00a0prestigious road race which\u00a0weaved its way through\u00a0central London, passing\u00a0iconic landmarks such as Big\u00a0Ben, the Houses of\u00a0Parliament and St Paul\u2019s Cathedral.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe run was a huge challenge for me,\u201d comments Vidhur. \u201cAnd while running isn\u2019t\u00a0really my thing, I felt it was important to do all I can to raise money for the CF Trust.\u00a0The Trust receives no Government funding but does so much to support sufferers of\u00a0this life-threatening disease.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me and helped me reach my\u00a0target. Many clients, other agents, friends and family all pulled together and I really\u00a0am humbled by the generosity that everyone has shown. But in answer to those who\u00a0have already asked, no, I don\u2019t think I will be doing another run anytime soon, I will\u00a0stick to number crunching.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
