Role description:
Our runners are taking on this incredible challenge to raise vital funds for Missing People's Helpline and Family Support services, which provide support to missing people and their loved ones. We'd love to give them the biggest and loudest support possible on the day.
It's always a fun and uplifting atmosphere, and you're very welcome to bring friends or family along to help cheer too.
Skills and behaviours needed for the role:
All you need to do is pop on a Missing People t-shirt, wave some flags, and bring plenty of encouragement. Every cheer can give our runners the boost they need, helping them keep going through the miles and reminding them that they're part of something bigger.
