Egremont have adopted Vitalise as their charity of the year throughout 2008

Sue Grist and Sean Connolly, Egremont Directors say
“We are delighted to be partnering with Vitalise in 2008. Through the partnership, the Egremont team plan to make a difference by raising money through events and sporting occasions, increasing awareness of this great charity and using our management techniques, toolkits and methodologies to help Vitalise ensure it is the best it can be.”

Fundraising and activities

Egremont's goal in working with Vitalise is to make a difference through:

• Volunteer work
• Pro-bono projects where our skills can make a real impact
• Fundraising through participation in major sporting events i.e. marathons
• Financial contributions

Paris Marathon

Alex Graham, Rachel Wood and Andy Morris ran in the Paris Marathon on 6 April 2008 in aid of Vitalise. In a race that toured the sights of Paris, they completed the course in a respectable 4 hours and 40 minutes and raised a fantastic £1,753.97.

Andy said
“It's a great cause; anybody who has cared for a disabled person will know just how welcome breaks for the carer and the cared for are. Knowing that we were raising a good amount for a great cause certainly made the pain more bearable.”
