After completing a number of events and challenges, staff of Gilt Edged Promotions raised a total of £2,008.50 for Action Medical Research.

The first event was a Coffee Morning held at the company’s premises in Moulton Park, Northampton to which the team invited other local businesses for coffee, cakes, product demonstrations and networking. Money was raised through a raffle and donations from the attendees.

Next came the extremely challenging sponsored ‘PLOD’ that saw two teams walk throughout the night 20  miles around Rutland Water.

Other fundraising activities included cake sales, a car boot sale and staff fun days.

Action Medical Research has recently teamed up with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and is jointly funding £2,050,836 across 13 different projects including research into neuroblastoma (a childhood cancer), leukaemia, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, Tourette’s syndrome and some rare inherited conditions such as X-linked lymphoproliferative disease.

On Tuesday, January 16, Clara Gill from Action Medical Research came to collect the cheque from managing director, Jonathan Cook and head of sales, Natalie Eichmann.

Clara Gill said: “Thank you so much for your support this year and well done on all your fundraising”

Everyone at Gilt Edged was more than delighted to raise funds for a charity doing such good work with children around the country.
