TOTAL GLASS HELPS
CHILDREN’S CHARITY
Total Glass supported a fund-raising cycle
ride across Wales in aid of The Movement
Centre, a charity which provides specialised
physiotherapy for children with cerebral palsy.
The Liverpool-based PVCu
and aluminium fabricator was
a shirt sponsor for the twoday ‘Peddling for Jac’ cycle
ride, organised by long-standing customer Mark Blackwell,
director of Anglesey-based
DU Construction Ltd.
The 15-strong team of riders
and support drivers completed
the 135-mile ride safely from
Gobowen Hospital in North Wales
to Cardiff over the weekend of
April 8 to 10. They raised a total
of nearly £20,000 – nearly double
their original target.
It was the fifth charity bike ride
for Mark who is raising money for
treatment to help his three-yearold godson Jac walk unaided and
live a normal active life.
Mark says: “We are delighted that
Total Glass has supported us and
their gesture is very much appreciated. Thanks to everyone who
has donated so generously; they
have helped us to really smash our
original target.”
He added: “We all have hopes for
Jac’s progress through the centre’s
Targeted Training programme and
believe that whatever his potential
is, the movement centre will help
him fulfil it. It could be literally life-changing. We have raised
enough to cover the cost of Jac’s
treatment, and anything over and
above will help kids like him.”
Phill Cresswell, Total Glass Sales
and Marketing Manager commented: “Where possible, as a company
we aim to support community and
charity projects so we were only
too happy to help. Congratulations
to Mark and his team on their
fantastic achievement.”

and young people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK
every year and the incidence
has been on the increase.
There are more than 50
types of childhood cancer.
“Thanks to research funded
by Children with Cancer UK,
survival rates for the most
common form of childhood
cancer, leukaemia, have increased dramatically over the
past 50 years, but for some
rare types of cancer survival
rates remain at zero. Tembé
is proud to continue doing
its part to help raise money
for a cure.”
Many of the staff at Tembé
DIY live in and around Epworth and have been affected by the story of Epworth
seven-year-old Alexander
Strong who was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma
on Christmas Eve 2009.
Sadly, he lost his battle in
January 2013 after fighting
the disease.
