Earlier this month, a team from Guardian, a PTSG company, laced up their boots and took on the Breast Cancer Now Pink Ribbon Walk through the Peak District. Starting at Chatsworth House, ten miles of moorland, trails and hilly terrain later, Zoe, Emma, Hayley, Matt, Lauren, Liam, Lyndsi, Mick and Rebecca crossed the finish line having raised £1,631 between them.
It was the latest chapter in a story that began last October, when PTSG showed its colours across the whole Group when all 3,000 colleagues were invited to Wear It Pink in support of Breast Cancer Now raising £1,750 for the charity.
Combined with the Pink Ribbon Walk total, that means PTSG has now raised over £3,000 for Breast Cancer Now – a figure that reflects not a single moment of generosity, but an ongoing commitment to a cause that has touched people within our own organisation.
The statistics that make this cause so important haven’t changed. Around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK – more than 150 new cases every single day. One in seven women will receive a diagnosis in their lifetime. It’s why days like this matter long after Awareness days and months are over.
Every pound raised goes directly to the research and support services that Breast Cancer Now provides to everyone affected by the disease – funding that moves us closer to the charity’s bold ambition: that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live and live well.
The team’s JustGiving page remains open for anyone who’d like to add to the total: click here.
At PTSG, we talk a lot about the people behind the business. This is exactly what we mean. Well done, team.
