Children’s charity gets support from scaff olding specialists


Big-hearted team mates at Midland Scaff olding Services have pledged to take on an ultra-marathon charity challenge in a bid to raise thousands of pounds to help disabled children. Charity champions at the Northamptonshire based


business have been inspired to undertake the fi tness feat after colleague Gary Rouse’s daughter Poppy was born with Down’s syndrome and a serious heart condition, TOF, which will see her undergo urgent surgery in September. Gary, who’s worked at Midland Scaff olding Services


(MSS) for 26 years, welcomed the support shown by the business where Contracts Director Ben Ekins and Estimator Jordan Harrison, have pledged to run 50 Miles for Poppy to raise thousands for the charity Caudwell Children.


Numerous businesses within the industry have also


shown their support for the fundraising campaign, donating prizes for a charity raffl e. T e company will stage a special family fun day for its team and their families to welcome Ben and Jordan across the fi nish line at the end of their charity challenge, which will see the dynamic duo run from Birmingham to Northampton on September 19. Gary explained how, since baby Poppy’s arrival last


December, it has been an emotional and anxious time for him and his partner, Natalie, with months of hospital admissions, medical appointments with heart specialists and getting to grips with tube feeding. He said: “Obviously our time with Poppy has been


enjoyable, but it’s been hard work, the hardest time of our lives probably. We’ve known since day one she’d need to have her operation – it’s really tough but we are battling on through. With Poppy there are quite a few things we have to do diff erently than we did with all our other babies – the tube feeding being the biggest thing.
