Panther Logistics’ fundraising efforts proved to be a runaway success as team members clocked up the miles to help raise thousands of pounds for the company’s corporate charity, Over The Wall Children’s Charity.
Members of the Panther team pounded the pavements of the capital as they participated in the recent London Landmarks Half Marathon, raising more than £5,000 for the charity.
The big-hearted team members who completed the fitness charity challenge included Gary McKelvey, Vice President Global Home Delivery Operations AIT Worldwide Logistics. He was joined by Ryan Mitchell, Operations Manager; James Langer, Business Development Manager; and Vicki Barber, Head of People and Engagement.
Their energetic efforts are part of the company’s continuing support for the charity Over The Wall, which provides free activity camps for seriously ill or disabled children and their families at several sites in the UK. Through its Camp in the Cloud, the charity also provides online camps for young people that are unable to attend camps in person.
Gary McKelvey said:
“Completing the London Landmarks Half Marathon is a great achievement for myself and the Panther colleagues who joined me on the day. However, the bigger achievement was the money raised for our chosen charity partner, Over The Wall, which will go a long way in supporting their amazing work for children and young people with health challenges and disabilities.”
The Panther team smashed their original fundraising target total by thousands and raised £5,370 in donations of support.
Christopher Pitts, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Over The Wall, said:
“Panther Group have once again been incredible in their fundraising efforts for Over The Wall, taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon and raising over £5,000 between the four runners.
“We love working with a team as energetic and enthusiastic as the team at Panther Group and are looking forward to more exciting events with them across 2023. They’ve already signed up 13 runners for the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October and are fast on their way to becoming our top corporate fundraisers in 2023!”
