Alliance Healthcare Team Member Completes Blenheim Palace Triathlon in Aid of Cancer Research UK

Alliance Healthcare UK Chessington Support Centre team member, Roslyn Glover, has raised over £2,900 for Cancer Research UK taking part in this year’s Super Sprint Triathlon.

Roslyn was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2019 and started running as part of her recovery. In 2020, she took part in the Race for Life 5km race and then, inspired by the GB Triathlon Team, Roslyn decided she would train for a triathlon.

The Super Sprint Triathlon is a 400-meter lake swim, 13.3km cycle and then a 2.9km run set in the grounds of UNESCO World Heritage Site Blenheim Palace. Each year, over 7,000 participants of all ages and abilities take part in the triathlon.

Roslyn finished the lake swim and closed road course in an impressive 1 hr 22 mins 51 secs this June.

The Cencora Foundation, the charitable giving arm of Alliance Healthcare’s parent company Cencora, is proud to show support for Roslyn by donating $2,500 USD bringing the total to almost £5,000. You can still donate here.

Ros Glover, AHUK customer finance team member, said:

“I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2019, so the Cancer Research charity is, quite literally, very close to my heart. I was inspired by the GB Triathlon Team at the Tokyo Olympics and set my sights on completing a triathlon with the ambition to raise funds for the charity. It was an incredible challenge but completing the race gave me a real sense of achievement. A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored and supported me.”

Sam Unsworth, Head of Communications at Alliance Healthcare UK, said:

“This is a fantastic achievement and Roslyn should be proud of the extraordinary sum she has raised for Cancer Research, which has been matched by the Cencora Foundation. We are pleased that so many Alliance Healthcare UK team members showed their support for Roslyn, and we look forward to seeing what challenge she takes on next.”
