Parkheath More Than Triples Its Fundraising Target For North London Hospice
Annette Ross : 01 October 2010
PARKHEATH MANAGING DIRECTOR Tom Gladwin rallied his troops in a determined effort to raise funds for a local charity, and exceeded all expections Whilst the 5K Belsize Fun Run may not be quite on the scale of the London Marathon or the Great North Run, the enthusiasm of those taking part in it easily matches those more venerable institutions. Belsize Eco Week has become a much looked forward to event in the local calendar, and the 5K Fun Run through the streets of Belsize Park is a particular highlight. Blessed with good weather and following an impromptu warm up session given by local fitness instructor Denis Dehaney, the teams from Parkheath, along with around 50 other runners, were smartly off the blocks at 2pm Saturday September 25th for the start of the race. Annette Ross, Head of Lettings at Parkheath’s Belsize office, explains ‘This is our second year of sponsoring the event, and we were determined to raise funds for a charity which has recently touched the life of one of our negotiators. She told us how North London Hospice has been an incredible support for her and her family during a very difficult time, and when we found out that 80% of the Hospice’s funding needs to be raised from fund-raising efforts and donations we all agreed that we would run as fast and as hard as we could on their behalf ‘. With practically all of the staff of the Parkheath London offices pledging to take part, fund-raising began in earnest, and the total amount raised of just over £3,000 is more than triple the target they had set themselves. Continuing contributions are welcome.
