BUDGETUK sales and marketing director Roddy Graham will be batting for Ian Botham in November when he joins the Beefy one on his latest charity walk.
Roddy and Budget UK managing director Doug Sawers team up with Botham for the gruelling 32-mile leg between Bristol and Highbridge on November 6.
Budget UKhopes to raise £10,000 for Beefy as he attempts to hit the £5m mark from his eight charity walks.
The latest starts on October 11 from John O’Groats to Land’s End. Budget will have collection boxes at its 142 rental locations. It is also supplying support vehicles for the ex-cricketer and TV pundit.
All cash collected goes towards The Leukaemia Research Fund.
Meanwhile, St Andrews Travel managing director Andrew Dickson sets off on a slightly shorter distance than Botham – but at a faster pace.
He is competing in The Great North Run half-marathon from Newcastle to South Shields. His target is to run the race within 2hrs and beat the £1,000 he raised for charity last year.
