Petals, Pace and a Half Marathon
Friday 18th Sep
Florists are used to spending their days on their feet, but this time we are putting those feet to a rather different use: running a half marathon!
A group of German florists specialized in
flower delivery to Germany is swapping flower buckets for running shoes and bouquets for kilometres, taking on the challenge to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts. Twenty-one kilometres may sound like a long way from the flower shop, but we are ready to prove that florists have stamina beyond arranging roses and carrying boxes.
There will be training runs, tired legs, questionable running styles and, hopefully, plenty of smiles along the way. Every kilometre brings us closer to the finish line and helps us raise awareness and support through our fundraising campaign.
From flower power to running power
Our profession is all about creativity, patience and hard work. Those same qualities will be needed on the road. Some of us may run fast, some may run slowly, and some may spend part of the race wondering why we ever thought this was a good idea. But we will all be running for the same reason.
We want to turn a fun personal challenge into something meaningful.
