Employees at St. Ives company Linx Printing Technologies have raised \u00a310,000 for Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK by taking part in a range of fundraising activities over the course of a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reach the sum, colleagues at the coding and marking specialist organised car washes, bake sales and raffles \u2013 and also participated in Cambridgeshire\u2019s annual Chariots of Fire race, which saw 33 colleagues run the 1.6 mile course in relay teams of six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chariots of Fire race is one of Cambridgeshire\u2019s largest annual charity events. Inspired by the film of the same name, it was founded in 1992, and has since raised more than \u00a31 million for local and regional charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were very impressed with the commitment the Linx employees showed when training for the race \u2013 it was typical of Linx\u2019s broader commitment to fundraising for dementia research,\u201d comments Holly Noon, Fundraising Officer for Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u00a310,000 will now go towards vital research into the four key areas the charity focuses on: prevention, cause, treatment, and cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is estimated that 850,000 people are currently living with dementia in the UK, while one in 14 people over 65 have the condition. One in three children born in the UK this year will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery year we donate to one main organisation that means a lot to our staff, and Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK is a perfect example of this,\u201d comments Jose Gomez, Linx\u2019s Managing Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlmost all of us will be affected by dementia, whether directly or indirectly, at some point in our lifetimes. We are therefore extremely proud to have played a part in tackling it by organising all these events and activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holly Noon concludes: \u201cLinx has shown fantastic support for our charity, and we are extremely grateful for their contribution, which supports our aim to raise awareness of dementia and fund life-changing research.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
