Joe Rose, Head of Group Marketing at Aspen, said: “Myself and my colleagues are training hard to make sure we are ready for the challenge and cycle all the way to Salina SAS, our French office in Paris. We are very proud to support Chestnut Tree House, which offers support to families of local children with life-limiting conditions. They are a crucial lifeline for many families in the area so please support us as much as you can.”
Terrina Barnes, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Chestnut Tree House, said: “We want to wish the team at Aspen Pumps the best of luck with their challenge. The money they raise will be vital to us in continuing to offer care to children and families in the local area, and helping us to reach even more families who need our support. It currently costs well over £3.5m each year to provide all the care services offered by Chestnut Tree House and families are never charged for their care. We receive less than 7% of our funding from central government so rely heavily on businesses like Aspen Pumps who take on amazing challenges to fundraise for us.”
