Crawley-based marketing manager Lena Hebestreit and procurement manager Melanie Lewis tackled the 25km South Coast Challenge on Saturday 3 September, raising \u00a3710 for Young Lives vs Cancer. https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/mel-andlena<\/a><\/p>\n Dudley-based inventory controller Gail Bradley is taking part in Young Lives vs Cancer\u2019s Challenge 60 virtual event. Participants are challenged to jog, run, cycle, walk or swim 60 miles in September to represent the 60-mile round trip that young cancer patients face, on average, to get the specialist treatment they need. But Gail is going above and beyond the 60 miles and is aiming to double it and take on a \u2018Challenge 120\u2019. https:\/\/www.justgiving. com\/fundraising\/gail-bradley4<\/p>\n Vent-Axia\u2019s support of the charity is part of a groupwide initiative which has raised \u00a33,510 so far this year. Speaking on behalf of Young Lives vs Cancer, Rose Bailey, fundraising engagement manager, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Vent-Axia has chosen to support Young Lives vs Cancer this year and we\u2019re so grateful to Lena, Melanie and Gail for the support and effort they are making to help raise money for the charity. Thanks to Vent-Axia and their amazing staff, young people facing cancer, and their families, won\u2019t have to face cancer alone.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWE DID IT! Over six hours and 40,903 steps later, Melanie and I completed our 25km walk of the South Coast supporting Young Lives vs Cancer. It was tough, but nothing in comparison to what cancer fighters have to go through… we walked for them. We\u2019d like to say thank you to all of you who have supported us and donated so generously to this great charity,\u201d said Lena Hebestreit, marketing manager at Vent-Axia. \u201cNow we\u2019re lending our support to Gail\u2019s fantastic efforts where she is taking on the huge challenge of walking 120 miles in September to raise more, very much needed funds for Young Lives vs Cancer. If anyone can donate any amount, large or small, we\u2019d be so grateful. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
