Marathon adventure gets global backing
Thursday 19 March 2009
Weider Global Nutrition have thrown their weight behind Tesco's Tim Smith and Paul Dickens as they tackle their epic marathon adventure in a bid to raise £40,000 for MDC.
The world-leading sports nutrition company were so impressed by the commitment shown by Tim and Paul that they agreed to supply them with premium products to fuel their 6-day, 200km runs across the Amazon Jungle in October 2009 and the Sahara Desert in March 2010.
Steve Bernstein, Weider's United Kingdom Sales Director, said:
When Tim Smith approached us I was knocked over by this team’s dedication and commitment. Weider has a proud 70 year heritage of foundations and charities and we are delighted to team up with Tim’s team to raise money for a very good cause.
