Tough Mudder target reached for Meningitis Now

Great news! We can confirm we have reached the target we set from the Tough Mudder event in May to raise £500 for the vital work of Meningitis Now – our charity of the year.

You’ll remember that three intrepid Page Kirk employees – Tom Johnson, Ciaran Finn and Bryn Luffman – took part in the super-challenging obstacle course at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire. They climbed walls and negotiated mud mounds and water pits in the gruelling expedition, but now their hard work and dedication has really paid off.

Bryn, who works in the Page Kirk accounts department, has been reflecting on the Tough Mudder experience and says he was nervous initially, but that the event turned out to be a ‘whole lot of fun’.

“As a team, I feel we did extremely well,” he says. “We completed all the obstacles, maintained a decent pace and had a great laugh along the way! This has definitely given me motivation to take part in more charity events and continue to raise money.”

Tom from the audit department is thankful to everyone who supported the team financially.

“It’s all about raising awareness and funds for Meningitis Now,” he comments. “Every little contribution helps, so we are ever so grateful to anyone who sponsored us.”

Harry Gardner from Meningitis Now has sent us a message of thanks:

“We are so grateful to Page Kirk for choosing us as their charity of the year and entering a team to Tough Mudder. The event looked lots of fun and I’m glad the team enjoyed themselves, whilst also raising funds for Meningitis Now. As a charity we rely solely on donations, so the support from Page Kirk is vital for us to continue our life-saving work. Thank you!”

We are incredibly grateful too for all the support and donations from colleagues, friends, family clients and contacts.

Any contribution makes a huge difference to research into meningitis, which is still the biggest cause of death in the UK for children under five. Any donations will be hugely appreciated.
