Leading UK bookmakers to donate Britannia Stakes profits to charities
1st June 2021
| By Robert Fletcher
A group of leading UK bookmakers have agreed to donate all profits from the Britannia Stakes horse racing event later this month to a series of charities.
Flutter Entertainment (Paddy Power, Betfair and Sky Bet), bet365, Entain (Ladbrokes and Coral), William Hill, Kindred (Unibet), BetVictor, Betway, Rank Group (Grosvenor Sport), the Tote and Fitzdares have signed up to the initiative.
Profits from win and each-way bets, after levy and duties are deducted, will go to charity, while if bookmakers do not make a profit on the race, they will make a donation to the charities themselves.
When Derren started the fundraiser, he only expected to raise around £400, so to have raised nearly 10 times that is a huge achievement.
Speaking about his month of running, Derren said: I certainly did not find it easy. It was all right for the first six days and then I got injured and had to go to the physio three times. I had to do some run-walking to get my calf back to full fitness and then in the end I managed to run little and often to ensure I finished the challenge.
Running 50 miles in a month is not the only way that Derren has been trying to raise awareness about prostate cancer - he has also been very active on social media, particularly twitter, by sharing his experiences in order to help other men.
