ZF teams up with charity to raise funds for Cancer Research

Lisa Hudson, human recourse manager at ZF, said: “Cancer is something that unfortunately is close to many of us and we as a company have lost too many members of staff to the awful illness. We’ve also got many employees whose husbands, wives, brothers, sisters or friends have either passed away or are fighting the illness, and that’s something we want to change.

“Our partnership with Cancer Research UK is to support their Race for Life events by encouraging people to take part, either as individuals or groups. We already have some staff who have participated in the past, with our support, and hopefully through our promotion of the fundraising events we can put forward even more employees.

“As a company we value the help we give to our staff and their families and if we can do our bit to support a very worthwhile charity which is helping to save lives, that can only be a good thing.”

The next Cancer Research UK Race for Life 5K is at Wearside’s Herrington Park on Sunday 2nd June and Vikki Lambert, Cancer Research UK’s area events manager, said: “We are delighted to have the support of a company like ZF. Clearly there are so many of their staff who have been affected by cancer, either directly or because a friend or family member has had the disease. By teaming up with Cancer Research UK and promoting the Race for Life, they are helping raise awareness of our events and ultimately, attract participants and support our fundraising events.”
