Two members of the McCrory team are taking on an incredible challenge this April, as Tom Carson and Brian O’Grady prepare to complete the Paris Marathon charity run in support of a cause that means a great deal to them, and to our wider community.
This isn’t just about running 26 miles through one of Europe’s most iconic cities. It’s about raising awareness, showing support, and contributing to something far bigger than the finish line.
Supporting Beechwood Cancer Care
Tom and Brian are running the Paris Marathon for charity, raising funds for Beechwood Cancer Care, a fantastic local organisation providing vital support to individuals and families affected by cancer and other serious illnesses.
Beechwood offers a wide range of services, from counselling and emotional support to wellbeing therapies and group sessions. Their work provides comfort, guidance, and a sense of community to people going through some of life’s most challenging moments.
By taking on this charity marathon event together, Tom and Brian are helping to ensure that these essential services can continue to support those who need them most.
Why This Charity Matters
At McCrory, we understand that construction is about more than just building structures, it’s about supporting the communities we work within.
Supporting cancer patients and families is something that resonates deeply across our team. Many of us know someone who has been affected by cancer, which makes initiatives like this all the more meaningful.
This marathon fundraising for a cancer charity highlights our ongoing commitment to community charity initiatives and corporate charity support. It reflects the values we stand for as a business: teamwork, resilience, and giving back.
Preparing for the Paris Marathon
Taking on the Paris Marathon is no small feat. For both Tom and Brian, preparation has meant months of early mornings, long training runs, and pushing through tired legs, all while continuing to deliver in their roles across our projects.
Balancing the demands of construction with marathon training requires real discipline and determination. Together, they’ve committed to the process, supporting each other through every stage of training.
Supporting the Cause
This charity marathon event is about more than just crossing the finish line, it’s about making a lasting impact.
Fundraising for cancer care allows Beechwood to continue providing its vital services, supporting people and families when they need it most. Every donation, no matter how big or small, contributes to that mission.
As a business, we are incredibly proud of Tom and Brian for taking on this challenge together. Their efforts represent the very best of what our team stands for, going above and beyond, supporting others, and making a positive difference.
We encourage anyone who is able to support this cause to get involved and help raise awareness for the incredible work Beechwood Cancer Care does within our community.
From everyone at McCrory, we wish Tom and Brian the very best of luck as they take on the Paris Marathon. We’ll be cheering them on every step of the way. 👏
