Secure communications company Salt Communications based in Belfast, have set out to take part in the 8-Mile walk element of this years Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon to raise vital funds for Air Ambulance NI.

Speaking on behalf of the company, Senior Marketing Executive Nicole Allen said, “The Salt Communications team initially got involved with Air Ambulance NI back in September 2022 where the team carried out a 5K a day throughout the month of September, this was a great way for everyone to get out and about for both their mental and physical wellbeing. Working in the tech sector you can spend long periods in front of a screen, so this was a good way to break up the day and increase team communication outside of a work environment. This year we are taking part in the Mash Direct Belfast City Marathon 8-mile walk – we are looking forward to doing something together as a team again as well as raising money for an amazing cause on our doorstep at the same time. I can’t express enough how great the charity has been to work with, and how excited we are as a team to continue to support them.”

Colleen Milligan from the charity said, “This is the perfect opportunity to gather your work colleagues or family together to take part in a very special day to raise funds to help sustain this vital service.  We realise that running 26.2 miles isn’t for everyone, nor may it be possible to take part in the Team Relay, but the 8-Mile Walk is a lovely way to get the team away from the desks, encourage communication and have a bit of craic while supporting your local charity.  So, why not join the team at Salt Communications, don the trainers and sign up now at www.belfastcitymarathon.com- be quick as the middle price rate finishes at the end of February”
