Andy Baxter, leader of Oltco's resin driveway franchises in Northampton, Milton Keynes, Hemel, and Luton, recently reached a personal milestone by completing a half marathon with his son, Ben. Together they raised over £800 for Willen Hospice, a charity offering specialist care for adults with life-limiting illnesses.

In a remarkable show of personal dedication, Oltco’s Andy Baxter, along with his son Ben, took on the challenge of completing a half marathon to raise funds for Willen Hospice. Willen Hospice, a charity which has been providing specialist care to adults with life-limiting illnesses for over four decades, holds deep significance for Andy and his family. Their efforts raised more than £800, placing them in the top 20% of JustGiving fundraisers at the time. The funds will enable Willen Hospice to continue offering personalised care to its patients and provide essential support to their families.

Andy and Ben ran the marathon in memory of Andy’s brother-in-law, Mikey, and his wife’s father, Peter. This race was more than a physical challenge; it was a heartfelt tribute to their loved ones and a way to give back to a charity that has profoundly impacted their community. The funds they raised will directly support the hospice, making a real difference to those who depend on its compassionate care.
