Anybody can be a hero: Why Team Koobr is running the Derby 10K

From the very start, Koobr has always strived to make a positive difference. And we, like a large number of businesses who are proud of their local communities, have always tried hard to give something back.

So after having had the privilege of working alongside the heroes at me&dee charity earlier in the year, we wanted to honour their tremendous work in a fun and heroic way.

Founded in 2006, me&dee has worked with countless families facing life-limiting and uncertain circumstances; helping mums, dads, and children through extremely difficult times by providing family days out and holidays by the seaside.

It’s a very special charity, one that brings so much positivity and enjoyment into the lives of those who need it most. And I firmly believe it’s a cause that everybody in Derby (and the whole of the UK, for that matter) should be made aware of. That’s why, this April, I will be running the Derby 10K, alongside Team Koobr's Phil and Sophie in support of me&dee.

In the meantime, we’d definitely encourage everybody to check out the me&dee website — which is linked here — for more information about the wonderful things they do and the families they help.

We’d also like to thank Cactus Images for capturing the team’s heroic side in these fantastic photos. We had an absolute blast, and it’s definitely got us revved up for the big day. But we still need YOUR support.

Anybody can give something — whether that’s donating, sharing this story, or turning up on the day to cheer everybody on — anybody can make a difference, anybody can be a hero!
