£6,000 raised for Cumbria’s BEEP Doctors

Over £6,000 has been raised for Cumbria’s BEEP Doctors.

Last month, 12 runners took part in the Great North Run for the charity, which provides pre-hospital emergency care.

Runners who took part in the half marathon included individuals and a team from Cumbrian accountants Dodd & Co.

The firm, which has offices in Penrith and Carlisle took on the challenge to raise as much money as possible to help the volunteer doctors, raised £5,527.

Heidi Marshall, one of the partners from Dodd & Co, said: “We are quite an active bunch at Dodd & Co, and it’s been really tough not getting out and taking part in sporting events during the pandemic.

“It was lovely to be part of something again and run the Great North Run as a team and to raise money for the BEEP Doctors too. It was a great feeling on the day to be part of the crowd again. We had team members in different waves, but the camaraderie between us all was fantastic and knowing we had raised so much for charity kept us going around the route!”

Also taking part were Jo Holme and Alice Wilkinson as individual runners, who both completed the run and raised £485 between them.

Theo Weston, chairman of the BEEP Doctors, said: “I want to personally thank all 12 runners who took on this incredible challenge on behalf of the BEEP Doctors.

“Let us not underestimate what it takes for people to run any distance let alone a half marathon and the fact they want to put their bodies to the test while raising money for charity is fantastic.

“Every penny raised means so much to all our doctors and I pass on our upmost appreciation to everyone who took part in the event and donated.”

BEEP Doctors are currently fundraising to provide essential lifesaving equipment for their team of volunteer doctors. It takes over £30,000 a year just to keep the charity going.

The biggest cost is ensuring that the 14 volunteer doctors are kitted out with all the essential equipment such as monitors and defibrillators that are required to treat patients at the scene of an accident.

So far this year, the doctors have been called to over 300 incidents supporting the North West Ambulance Service and Great North Air Ambulance at the scene of road traffic accidents, farming incidents and traumas across Cumbria.
