BROMSGROVE’S Penguin Supplies has raised £530 for the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust during s a successful year of fund-raising for the Worcestershire charity.
The trust raises awareness of childhood cancers as well as research and support.
The Penguin team’s latest cheque for £530 was the result of members completing the Worcester City Half Marathon having never ran such a race before.
Penguin Supplies Ltd director Chris Hopkinson said it was a big achievement for him personally as he had never run that far before.
“What pushed me forward was the outstanding work the charity does for families at a devastating time in their lives,
I’m truly humbled by their work in the community.
“Also, I would like to give a special thank you to everyone who has supported our fund-raising this year, with not only the Worcester City half marathon, but also our Penguins Pounds campaign last spring.”
Michelle Nolan, the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust’s charity engagement co-ordinator, added: “We can’t thank Chris enough for supporting us this year.
“His grit and determination has really shone through and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
Penguin Supplies, founded in 2015, specialises in branded protective clothing, catering and janitorial equipment supplies and classic stationery products.
The company said it prided itself on ‘its quality customer service, rapid delivery and competitive pricing’.
