Thanks to the generosity of 4Networking and numerous local Peak District businesses, Help For Heroes will be collecting a cheque for £540 towards their much needed funds on 23rd September.
Local hero, Jon Hilton, who himself served in Iraq and now runs a business called Pulse Rate Training, will accept the cheque on behalf of Help For Heroes at the next 4Networking's business meeting at Buxton & High Peak's golf club.
The cash was raised at their Christmas party held on 2nd July. Yes, you did hear correctly, it was a Christmas party, after the real one was cancelled in December because of heavy snow. The late Christmas party gave business members a chance to relax and have some fun, as well as raising funds for their chosen charity. 4Networking Group Leader, Jan McSkimming said, "It was a fantastic night, with people travelling from all across the Peak District, including Staffordshire, Cheshire, Manchester and Sheffield. Our Operations Assistant, Nigel Collins brought his popular band, Twisted Lick to entertain us. But what was so heartwarming, was the generosity of so many businesses in these difficult economic times. They provided all of the fantastic auction and raffle prizes, as well as dipping into their pockets to win them as well! Amazing!"
Pete Clowes, Area Leader for the 4Networking network said, "This is an example of how 4Networking works. We encourage business members to support each other by working and collaborating together. Jon, who served in the forces before starting his own business, Pulse Rate Training, will be speaking to the group on the 23rd "From Bullets to Business", about his experiences and how 4Networking has helped turn his life around."
There will be a photo opportunity and a chance to meet Jon and some of the businesses involved in raising the funds as the cheque is presented at 9.30am 23rd September at Buxton & High Peak Golf Course.
Ends.

More about Help For Heroes
Help for Heroes was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
