Bishop’s Move has once again ensured that its largest vehicle has proved an obstacle for competitors at the 2014 Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS) RoadBlock Run.
The event, held at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh on Sunday 21st September, saw over 450 runners tackle the fun, friendly, foamy 10K course with over £40,000 being raised for the charity.
For three years now Bishop’s Move’s largest vehicle has been strategically placed on the course. Inside the truck, which competitors have to run through, further obstacles can be found ensuring ducks, dives and slides are aplenty. The money raised will help support those affected by chest, heart and stroke illness in Scotland via research, advice, support services and community groups.
Bishop’s Move has been supporting CHSS for over three years. Through a unique ‘De-clutter Service’, Bishop’s Move removal men throughout Scotland provide home movers with CHSS Charity Donation Sacks prior to their move, should they wish to donate any unwanted items to the charity. On the day of the move the Bishop’s Move vans collect and store the items, which can range from clothes to electrical equipment, that are then collected by CHSS representatives.
Organiser Alison Acosta said: “We very much appreciate all the efforts of our runners and their supporters during the 8th annual RoadBlock Run. The Bishop’s Move vehicle always proves to be a favourite amongst the competitors and spectators and I can’t thank them enough for their support once again.”
David Mills, Bishop’s Move General Manager, Scotland commented: “The CHSS RoadBlock Run is one of the highlights of our year. It’s always fun watching people in fancy dress climbing, sliding and jumping through the back of our largest vehicle.”
