David Gershlick, of UK operator Coin Inn Games, raised £1,525 in January and February for the Rays of Sunshine Charity, which British trade association BACTA is supporting this year.
Gershlick raised the money with his wife, Kay, and friends Malcolm and Elaine Fisher, undertaking a 150-mile walk from London’s Westminster Bridge to the Gas Street Basin in Birmingham, following the River Thames and then the Grand Union Canal. The walk took place in a series of stages during 2015.
Gershlick expressed his thanks to companies and individuals who contributed to the fund, specifically: Dransfields, Simon Thomas, Praesepe, Harry Levy, Charter Leisure, Gem Automatics, Essex Leisure, Electrocoin, Bell Fruit Group, Kossway, Select Gaming, Northumbria Leisure, United Distributing Company and Las Vegas Amusements; as well as Alan Gershlick, John Appleton, Andy Hill, Martin Burlin, and Malcolm and Elaine Fisher.
