Speaking about the fundraiser Conor Rainsford, Director, Operations said: "The Spin-a-Thon at Bausch + Lomb; which saw staff complete the distance of a marathon on spinning bikes; was great preparation for some of our employees who will be participating in the Viking Marathon on June 25th.  It was a great opportunity to raise much needed money for a worthy cause like the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind; who help to empower people to participate safely and confidently in their communities.

"At Bausch + Lomb we are all looking forward to the Viking Marathon later this month; where many of our employees will be taking part.  This is a great opportunity to promote Waterford and use it as a showcase for our wonderful City and hopefully raise more money for charitable causes in Waterford and across the region".
