Midland Scaff olding Services


Charity challenge was a runaway success


Midland Scaff olding Services (MSS) celebrated their fundraising success after raising thousands of pounds for Caudwell Children. T e company pledged to raise £20,000 for the charity, which sup-


ports disabled and neurodivergent children and their families, with colleagues taking on an ultra-marathon, running from Birmingham to Northampton. T e charity challenge, called 50 Miles for Poppy, was completed


by Ben Ekins and Jordan Harrison, who were inspired to take on the fi tness feat by colleague Gary Rouse’s baby daughter Poppy, who was born with Down’s syndrome and a heart condition, which recently required major surgery. T e MSS team was inundated with generous donations, amazing


raffl e prizes and support from multiple companies, suppliers and customers who backed the charity campaign which culminated in a family fun day at Northampton Town Football Club to welcome Ben and Jordan across the fi nish line after their mammoth run. Although Gary was unable to attend the fundraising event, as


he was with Poppy as she recovered in hospital following her heart surgery, he sent motivational messages to both Ben and Jordan ahead of their run and shared his heartfelt thanks with everyone. He said: “It’s a fantastic achievement by all, a great eff ort with


great organisation from start to fi nish - thank you all very much. “It’s been a tough year for me and my family and it still is, but


we battle on every day. I must say a massive thank you to MSS, the company has supported me all this year and helped me out more than I could have possibly imagined.
