SLR Above and Beyond hero Claire Fleming, who manages company-owned Spar Saltcoats in North Ayrshire, has helped local residents achieve their sporting dreams this summer with Spar Scotland sponsorship to attend national competitions.
The caring convenience worker has also gained funding from CJ Lang to install a bleed kit at Saltcoats Beach.
Athlete Nicole Murphy attended the HYROX World Championships in Chicago last month, while 16-year-old Connor Byrne is representing Scotland in street dancing at the UDO World Championships in Blackpool this August.
Nicole was hugely grateful to Spar Scotland for enabling her to take part in the global fitness race, which combines running and functional fitness workouts. In addition to arranging her sponsorship, Claire also gave Nicole a hamper filled with Spar goodies purchased with vouchers that were gifted to her personally, plus wax melts made by another member of the team. This was then raffled off by Nicole to raise funds for her flight.
“Claire has been absolutely amazing throughout all this,” said a grateful Nicole.
Claire told SLR she was “living her best life” when she was helping others. “Being able to help someone achieve their goal is brilliant,” she stated. “Now on to my next challenge!”
