4Com has extended its sponsorship of former premier league footballer and Southampton FC legend Franny Benali's epic charity run to include Benali's Big Run Gala Dinner on March 14th at Southampton's St. Marys Stadium.
Benali's Big Run saw ex-footballer Benali pound the streets to every premier league ground late last summer - 1,000 miles in 21 days - in a charity effort that has so far raised in excess of £200,000 for Cancer Research UK.
Benali said: "I was told by some that I'm mad and it can't be done, but that made me even more determined to succeed."
4Com's Dean Cartledge joined Benali on the run following a 'suggestion' by MD Daron Hutt. "I was thrown in at the deep end by Daron, however I am grateful for Daron for sponsoring this challenge and involving 4Com and its staff to be a part of this monumental journey of courage and strength."
Hutt commented: "Dean is an inspirational man, a man who leads from the front. He is an inspiring, logistical military motivator with a strict but understanding and caring nature. A true asset not only to 4Com but everyone that has the pleasure of knowing him."
