Karen Goodacre is on a mission beyond physical endurance as she prepares to run the Edinburgh Marathon on May 25, 2025. Her goal is to raise vital funds for Epic Partners, a charity dedicated to supporting children and families in disadvantaged areas. Epic Partners works within communities, offering programs that foster education, empowerment, and engagement, creating opportunities for young people to thrive.

As an experienced runner and passionate advocate, Karen has dedicated months to her training. Running a marathon requires not only stamina and dedication but also a deep commitment to the cause she supports. Each mile she completes represents her drive to give back and support Epic Partners’ mission of creating better futures. Through this fundraising effort, Karen hopes to amplify the charity’s message and inspire others to contribute.

The Edinburgh Marathon itself is a unique challenge, with a stunning yet demanding course that attracts runners worldwide. Karen’s fundraising campaign brings together friends, family, and supporters eager to see her succeed on this journey. To maximise impact, she has set up a JustGiving page where people can follow her progress and donate directly to Epic Partners.

With the marathon only months away, Karen continues to train rigorously, inspired by the difference each donation will make. As race day approaches, the excitement and anticipation build, reminding everyone that her marathon journey is about much more than crossing the finish line. It’s about championing a cause that uplifts communities and empowers future generations.

For those wishing to support Karen’s efforts, donations can be made on her fundraising page. Every contribution brings her closer to her goal—and strengthens the future of those Epic Partners serves.

As October wraps up, Datalink Electronics reflects on an eventful month filled with activities, updates, and exciting plans for the future!

Our Managing Director, Mariam, faced an unexpected challenge this month with a back injury that has temporarily postponed her charity skydive. However, her commitment to supporting the Epic Partners charity is unwavering, and she’s eager to complete the dive once she’s fully recovered. Joining her fundraising efforts, Datalink’s own Karen Goodacre will run the Edinburgh Marathon in May 2025, continuing our support for Epic Partners—a charity dedicated to empowering children and families through education and community initiatives. As marathon day approaches, we’ll share more about Karen’s journey and how to support her in this effort.

Datalink was also thrilled to participate in the Engineering Design Show this month. We showcased our latest innovations in electronics design and manufacturing, and it was inspiring to connect with so many forward-thinking professionals and companies in the industry. Our booth’s positive reception and conversations have energised our team, and we’re eager to bring this momentum to our next event.

November will see us in Düsseldorf, Germany, where we’ll be exhibiting at MEDICA 2024, the world’s largest event for the medical sector. It’s a fantastic opportunity for Datalink to connect with healthcare professionals and industry innovators from around the globe. Our team will be there to showcase how Datalink’s electronics design and manufacturing capabilities can drive advancements in medical technology and improve patient care. 

October has set the stage for what’s next, from fundraising to exhibitions and global industry events. Follow us for updates on our journey to MEDICA, and stay tuned for Mariam’s skydive and Karen’s marathon as we continue to support Epic Partners!
