Famous Landmarks & Epic Migrations for Fluid Branding’s charity efforts

Fluid Branding's CEO Matt Franks and MD Miles Lovegrove have recently been raising money for some worthwhile causes. Take a look to see how they got on!

The Fluid Family have been very busy recently with various charity endeavours.

First came a challenge to mimic the incredible journey taken by Wildebeest from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara every year. The 24-hour challenge was to cover 1800 miles from 22nd – 23rd March 2018. Raising money for The Vanessa Grant Trust, the trust is involved in various projects in Kenya including building and maintaining schools and nurseries as well as vital vocational training programmes.

Fluid Branding MD Miles ran and cycled part of the distance a Wildebeest makes every year on migration. A staggering 1800 miles!

The event was hosted at Cornwall College in St Austell, participants could run, jog, cycle or row their distance. The team smashed it with various Fluid team members popping in and racking up the distance during the 24-hour period.

Fluid Branding’s CEO Matt Franks visited Rongai, Kenya last year to help with the ongoing development of existing projects as part of a volunteer group, delivering business leadership workshops and helping set up essential IT infrastructure for the schools in the community. Fluid’s Managing Director, Miles Lovegrove is planning his volunteering visit to Rongai this summer to continue this vital work.

Fluid Branding have supported The Vanessa Grant Trust for eight years and during that time they have raised over £10,000 which has helped the charity give vital aid and support to the community of Rongai!   

The first ever London Landmarks Half Marathon took place on Sunday 25th March, through Westminster and the City with over 10,000 runners taking part, amongst them was Fluid’s very own CEO Matt Franks!

The event took runners on a route taking in famous landmarks such as The Bank of England, the Tower of London, Big Ben, the Royal Courts of Justice and Nelson’s Column.

Matt was raising funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK, a cause very close to his heart and achieved a very impressive time of 1 hour and 38 minutes.

Matt said “It was a fantastic event, running around the closed streets of London was an experience I won’t forget, the crowds were amazing and really helped spur me on when I needed that extra boost! I’m delighted to be able to help raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK”.
