Join Us in Going the Extra Mile for a Great Cause!

Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Family,

We are thrilled to announce that a team of five of us from Numatic International—James Poole, James Lee, Yordanos Teferi, Chris Foster and Oscar Tickner—will be hitting the ground running at the upcoming Taunton/Exeter Half Marathon and 10K on May 26th, 2024. Our aim goes beyond the finish line; we're committed to making a profound impact by supporting three remarkable charities: St Margaret's Hospice (Taunton), Devon Air Ambulance, and Ferne Animal Sanctuary.

Why We Run

Every step we take in the Taunton/Exeter Half Marathon and 10K is more than a stride towards personal goals; it's a stride towards making a significant difference in our community. Here’s a glimpse of the causes we’re passionate about:

-St Margaret's Hospice in Taunton delivers essential palliative care, enhancing the quality of life for terminal patients and providing solace to their families.

-Devon Air Ambulance ensures critical care can reach even the most remote parts of Devon swiftly, saving lives when every second counts.

-Ferne Animal Sanctuary offers a lifeline to mistreated and abandoned animals, giving them a chance at a happier, safer future.

Ferne Animal Sanctuary was founded by the late Nina, Duchess of Hamilton & Brandon at the beginning of the Second World War. Her aim was to provide a temporary refuge for the animals belonging to service men and women, who were shipped abroad to fight. Inevitably at the end of the war many owners failed to return to collect their pets. So the story of Ferne Animal Sanctuary began.
