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.
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 our mobile support units for one month.
Clare Davies, Tenovus Cancer Care’s Regional Fundraising Manager said, “We are very grateful to Ashmole & Co for helping to raise funds and awareness of Tenovus Cancer Care over the past 12 months. Your donation will mean we can continue to support cancer patients and their loved ones with our services and actively campaign to improve outcomes and give a voice to all affected by cancer in Wales.”
