This year The Consultancy has decided to join the MADi Fundraising team and drive its support for a great cause by taking part in the MADi Ball Rally.
Set up in 2014 by Leon Day of Universal Arches, Dan Gill of Residence Collection and Gareth Mobley of Solidor, MADi’s aim is to raise funds for the Anthony Nolan Trust, a cause that is very close to the hearts of the three founders.
The Anthony Nolan Trust works to help those suffering with blood cancer by matching blood stem cells or bone marrow that have been donated to people who desperately need lifesaving transplants. Not only does the charity work tirelessly to find donor matches, but it also uses its resources to educate young people about the lifesaving differences that can be made by joining the register, as well as conducting research to increase the success rates of transplants, hoping to improve the lives of those living with blood cancer.
After hearing about the great work that the Madi Fundrasing team does to help charities such as the Anthony Nolan Trust, The Consultancy says it ‘could not wait to lend a helping hand in raising support and awareness for this amazing cause’.
Richie Thornton, director of The Consultancy, said: “It’s been amazing to see the way this industry comes together to support those who are fundraising for great causes.
“The MADi Ball Rally was something that we considered in its first year, and the money that was raised for the Anthony Nolan Trust was enough to make up our minds that this was something we wanted to get involved in.”
The MADi Ball Rally will see members of the fenestration industry come together in a convoy drive from England to Monaco. With an aim of raising more than the first years’ rally, which totalled £130,000, the team is set to complete over 27.5 hours of driving across three days.
Richie continued: “Following a Modern Classics theme, myself and Paul will be representing The Consultancy in a MG MGB Roadster.
“We’ve worked for a long time in this industry helping to influence companies to progress in to the digital age, so we’re delighted to be able to use that influence now to help raise awareness for such a great cause.”
