Luke gears up for marathon effort in aid of the New Bridge Multi Academy Trust

The team surprised Luke with their very own lookalike masks

Members of the BNI Oldham Renaissance networking group joined forces to raise funds for New Bridge Fund, the charity arm of the Hollinwood-based New Bridge Multi Academy Trust.

This was in support of local builder Luke Sugden’s Ultramarathon, which takes place over the Yorkshire 3 Peaks on the Saturday (May 4).

Local business owners and New Bridge’s very own Executive Director of HR, Simon Smith, took part in a gruelling spin class at Oldham Leisure Centre.

The event raised over £500 as a contribution to Luke’s Just Giving fundraiser, which you can find here

Luke is aiming to raise £3,000 from his ultramarathon, all of which will be going towards New Bridge Fund and the MAT wide commitment to delivering life-changing experiences through the various residentials on offer, including Disney trips.

Good luck to Luke as he continues his preparations for the ultramarathon on Saturday!
