Ashmole & Co skydive, run marathons and walk many miles to raise staggering £16,000 for Tenovus Cancer Care
Ashmole & Co have raised a staggering £16,000 over the past 12 months for Tenovus Cancer Care. The staff of the accountancy firm skydived, run marathons and walked many miles to raise funds for the Welsh cancer charity.
Ten Ashmole & Co staff took on the ultimate thrill-seeking challenge recently by doing a tandem skydive over the Gower coastline. Jim Cornock, Partner, ran both the recent London Marathon and last autumn’s Marathon Eryri. Helen James in the Ammanford office organised a fundraising entertainment evening which raised over £1,600. Staff and Partners were sponsored to walk twelve miles along the Swansea coastal path last September. Staff in all offices also held dress down Fridays and baked cakes to help raise funds.
Tenovus Cancer Care is a Wales-based charity which gives help, hope and a voice to everyone affected by cancer. Tenovus is there for anyone affected by cancer. Together with its inspiring community of supporters, volunteers and fundraisers, the charity is determined to be there for everyone affected today, tomorrow and beyond.
Sharon George, Ashmole & Co Partner in the Carmarthen office, said, “Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer, or has a family member receiving treatment themselves. We were keen to support a cancer charity based in Wales and all the funds raised will be used to support those affected by cancer in Wales. We must thank our clients and friends who have helped us raise this significant amount through collections and events for this extremely worthy cause.”
The £16,109.55 raised by Ashmole & Co will fund the running costs, staffing and treatments in one of Tenovus’ mobile support units for one month.
