Money raised for Macmillan Cancer Support on Isle of Man
13 October 2010
FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE
BANK STAFF RAISED OVER £600 FOR MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT ISLE OF
MAN
More than £600 was raised for Macmillan Cancer
Support Isle of Man by two brave adventurers, David Hanlon and Tom
Smart, who were persuaded to take part in a coasteering session
when their colleagues at Fairbairn Private Bank pledged money for
the cause.
Adventurous Experiences kindly offered the two
coasteering places free of charge, in aid of the charity, and
organised the session which took a challenging route around Peel
Castle, on the West Coast of the Isle of Man. The session took
place in warm sunshine, 15 degrees sea temperature and strong swell
to make it a thoroughly exciting and unforgettable adventurous
experience.
Despite their reservations, Dave and Tom both
faced their fears and completed every jump and found that they
actually quite enjoyed themselves.
Gillian Wilson, Fundraising Manager for
Macmillan Cancer Support Isle of Man, commented: "I would like to
thank Dave and Tom for their courageous endeavours to raise money
for Macmillan Cancer Support. The money we raise on island is for
the benefit of the people of Isle of Man, wherever they have their
treatment, but the money raised is only possible thanks to the
support of such amazing people. Our corporate partnership with
Fairbairn Private Bank is yet another example of working together
to get the best results for local people affected by cancer. I
would like to thank them for the money they are raising this year
and the tireless efforts they are putting in to make the
partnership a great success."
