Ware & Kay Runner On Track

The family of Gillian Reid, Head of Employment at Ware & Kay, her husband Les Wilkinson, David Wilkinson (son aged 18) and Rebecca Wilkinson (daughter aged 16) have all set themselves a challenge and are getting set to run in the Jane Tomlinson York 10k on Sunday 4th August 2013 at 9:30am in support of the Missing People charity.

It will be the first 10k race (6.2 miles) David and Rebecca have run.  They see this as a big challenge and no mean feat but are confident about reaching the finishing line in under one hour.

Gill said "It is a challenging course starting at York Knavesmire Racecourse and winding through the ancient streets of York city centre, passing Clifford's Tower and York Minster and finishing again on the Racecourse. The teenagers came up with the idea after hearing about missing York University chef Claudia Lawrence who went missing on 18th March 2009.  This is going to be a worthwhile run because we hope to get so much support from the crowds".

Claudia's father, Peter Lawrence, whose law firm merged with Ware & Kay earlier this year is delighted that the family are helping to keep Claudia in the minds of the people of Yorkshire and beyond.

The team will be running with a photo of Claudia pinned to their T-shirts to help raise awareness of Claudia's case.

The Missing People charity offers a lifeline for the 250,000 people who go missing each year.  With crowds of runners and spectators descending on York each year, the event guarantees a fantastic day for all involved.
