Greggs Marathon: A Tasty Run for a Great Cause! 🏃♂️🥐
Meet Mo Williams, the man who paired his passion for running with his love for Greggs in an epic quest to raise funds for BBC Children in Need. Mo, originally from Anglesey but now settled in Newport, took on a unique challenge: visiting and eating at all 30 Greggs stores in Cardiff in a single day!
Starting bright and early at 6am from Greggs Pentwyn and wrapping up 12 hours later at the Central Square location, Mo covered an impressive 31 miles, sampling an array of treats along the way. From sausage baps to caramel custard doughnuts, every bite was part of his delicious mission to make a difference. 🍩🥪
Why Greggs and running? Mo says it best: “I love running and I love Greggs, so why not combine the two? I wanted to create buzz and maximise donations for a cause that is close to my heart.” And it certainly worked! Mo’s determination and creativity have already attracted over £2200 in donations.
Throughout his journey, Mo had the backing of his gym pals, run club, Cineworld colleagues, and loved ones, all cheering him on. And he reports that each Greggs store, especially the one on Rhymney Hill, welcomed him warmly, with the sausage bap being his standout dish of the day.
Mo’s unique challenge reminds us all that fundraising can be fun and inventive. His trek not only filled him with pride (and pastries) but also brought much-needed attention and funding to underprivileged children across the UK. 🎉
