STAFF at a communications firm have signed up for an inter-business dash to raise money for a York charity.

The 16-strong Cellhire team, all based in York, will compete against other local companies in the Jane Tomlinson’s York 10K Corporate Challenge through the streets of the city on Sunday, August 4. They will be sponsored in aid of St Leonard’s Hospice, a cause the firm has backed for many years.

The hospice is one of the event’s charity partners. Its community fundraiser, Sarah Atkinson, said: “We are very grateful to our long-time supporters Cellhire for pitting themselves against other firms, and we wish them good luck in the battle.”
