CDA MD keeps his cool raising thousands for Nottingham charity in fridge costume
CDA Managing Director Chris Ward successfully completed the Robin Hood Half Marathon last month dressed as a fridge, costume inspired by one of CDA’s own products. He raised £1,500 for Nottinghamshire-based suicide prevention charities Harmless and The Tomorrow Project. CDA matched his total, bringing the final donation to £3,000.
“It was an unforgettable day,” Mr Ward said. “Running 13 miles in a fridge costume certainly wasn’t easy, but the atmosphere was incredible. The support from the crowd, my colleagues and everyone who donated kept me going, and knowing

that the money raised will help save lives made every step worthwhile. I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who cheered me on along the route. It really made a difference.” He added: “Suicide prevention is a cause that is very close to my heart and I wanted to do something that could help others who might be struggling. I am proud that together we have raised awareness and vital funds for two organisations doing life-changing work in our community.” To learn more about Harmless and The Tomorrow
