Ib for £ Challenge Success!

Our incredible staff are at it again, always making us extremely proud! This time they took on the task of promoting healthy living while raising money. To do this they took part in a 12 week lb for £ challenge – and for every lb lost MCL InsureTech donated £1 to charity. The group had a fantastic TOTAL weight loss, losing 192.75 lb over 12 weeks.

A massive well done to Conor who won the “Most Inspirational Person” of the 2019 lb for £ challenge. £192.75 has been donated to Conor’s chosen charity, which is The Children’s Heartbeat Trust.

Conor told us why he decided to choose this brilliant charity: “The reason I choose The Children’s Heartbeat Trust is because it’s a charity very close to my personal trainer, Jay Dunlop at Evolution Gym. He helped me through the weight loss, and this charity helped him when his son was ill, so donating the money to a charity close to him is a thank you for all his help, motivation and hard work.”

The Children’s Heartbeat Trust has been working since 1984 to provide practical, emotional and financial support to children and young people living with heart disease and their families. They offer youth and family support services, fund research and campaign for the voice of children, young people and their families to be at the heart of all congenital cardiac services. Their aim is to create a society that provides high quality and inclusive clinical, practical and emotional support for heart families at each stage of their journey.

A special thanks must go to our Health Champions who help us run these initiatives: Victoria Logan, Conor Vauls, Hannah Millar and Aaron McClements. We really appreciate all the hard work, dedication and encouragement they provided each week.
