Makita supports 'Team Run 12'

Led by 23-year old Becky ‘Bexx Star’ Beard, the team’s aim is to raise £25,000 for Cancer Research UK and Breast Cancer Care (BCC) in 2014. Becky has set herself a goal to run 12 marathons in 12 months and the team has already raised £19,000.

 

"What a spectacular effort, by someone who claims not to be a runner, and all for a great cause,” said Kevin Brannigan, marketing manager, Makita UK. "In our own Charity of the Year event just a few years ago, also in support of Breast Cancer Care, Makita launched a pink cordless drill driver of which £5 was donated for every drill sold, the proceeds of which helped us to raise £70,000 for the Charity, so we are delighted to donate some of these special edition drills to the team’s online competitions and Quiz Night raffle.”

The Makita drill is a pink version of the DF330D Lithium-ion, 10.8v drill driver, complete with one 1.3Ah battery, fast charger, drill bit set and carry case. Small and compact, it's suitable for professional construction workers and DIYers.
