THE team at an Andover and Whitchurch-based estate agent has raised almost £2,000 for charity Enham Trust by running the Bath Half Marathon.

Directors Wayne and Guy, mortgage adviser Tristan and estate agents Ben, Nick and Dion from Graham & Co ran an incredible 13.1 miles through the streets of Bath for the 40th year of the half marathon on October 16.

They managed to smash their fundraising target of £1,500 for Enham Trust, with the total currently standing at £1,965. 

The Bath Half Marathon is an annual road running half marathon held in Bath, England, normally on the second or third Sunday in March. It has been held almost every year since 1982. The race was first run in the year after the first London Marathon and has remained a popular race for runners preparing for that event.

Dion and Tristan completed the half marathon in inflatable bathtubs complete with rubber ducks, so were unmissable on the course.

Enham Trust supports people with disabilities to live and work as independently as possible. 

The team had originally signed up to complete the run in May, but the event was postponed due to Covid disruption. 

Graham & Co take on a challenge every year to raise funds for charity. Last year, the team climbed Pen y Fan in Wales and raised over £2,000 for Andover Foodbank, and previous challenges include a parachute jump for the Air Ambulance and running the London Marathon for Naomi House. 

The estate agents, based on London Street, are active members of the local community. They have recently launched a partnership with Andover Foodbank where each month, they put aside a portion of their property sales to buy much-needed stock for the foodbank.

Wayne said: “We’re so pleased to have completed the Bath Half as this year’s challenge for charity – we’ve been waiting almost a year for this one. Enham Trust is an incredible local charity that does amazing work for people with disabilities, so we’re proud to be raising money for them this year. 

“It's amazing that we’ve smashed our target of £1,500 – thanks to everyone who’s donated already!”
